Artists Connected By More Than Just An Exhibit
/
I am excited to announce my participation in an upcoming collaborative art exhibit. And there’s something special and unique about this group exhibit—more than just sharing gallery space.
The Colour Connection group art show is with fellow creative Canadian artists Alini Garcia, Tamara Grand, and Roman Rozumnyj. But it also features a truly collective artwork.
About The Colour Connection group art show
In addition to the art exhibit featuring individual artwork by each artist, there will be one collaborative painting in which we all take turns adding and removing marks and colours.
The painting started with me, then I mailed it to Tamara, who is based in Port Moody. After working on the painting, she mailed it to Roman in West Vancouver. When he finished his additions (and subtractions), he sent it to Alini in North Vancouver.
The final collaborative Colour Connection piece measures 20” x 20” and will be on exhibit at the show. Each of us shared our contributions on our respective Instagram pages (listed below) to follow the progress and process of this collaborative art piece.
The Colour Connection times & location
The art exhibit is in West Vancouver’s Millennium Park and runs for most of February and into March.
There will be a welcoming and relaxed reception during gallery hours where visitors can meet the artists, view the work, enjoy some light refreshments, and mingle. There will also be an Artist Talk Livestream which anyone can watch on YouTube.
The gallery will present an artist talk live on its YouTube channel. Artists will get to talk about their work, inspirations, process & take questions from viewers. You can participate from anywhere, as it will be a Zoom meeting between us streamed on YouTube.The talk will then be available on the gallery’s YouTube channel.
