Gualala Arts Promoting public interest and participation in the arts since 1961
Exhibit Statement: If one artist’s art is inspiring and uplifting what would happen if two or more artists created a piece? Is one + one more than two or three? We think so. We are inviting artists to put their heads together and create a piece that would not have been possible alone. What if one artist started a painting and handed it off to another artist to add their interpretation? What sort of magic might happen? What if that piece was then completed by a third artist? There would be an entirely new work that none of the artists could have done by themselves.
Perhaps two artists work in entirely different media. Can a fiber artist create a piece with a ceramic artist? A glass artist with a metal artist? What if a photographer took a picture and a watercolorist painted the image? We think the possibilities are endless and it will present an opportunity for new ideas, new methods, and new friendships. There will be cash prizes as well. The details will be announced soon.
