I'm so excited for the opening reception of my "Paper Anniversary" exhibit! To celebrate one year at 27 Subway Street in Bisbee, Arizona, I had an open call to Arizona artists to enter work that included a paper element and measured 11" x 11." So many wonderful artists that I admire and respect have entered work into the show! I am also amazed by the creativity of these artists. One chose to print her images on wallpaper. Another artist painted and collaged on a circular tin tray edged in a rubber tire to measure 11" in diameter. A local artist pushed his work into the third dimension by creating an 11" x 11" x 11" cube. Some artists made their own paper, used paper-mache, paper clay, or created their own frames. Some made their own wooden panels. An old door panel was even upcycled into a piece that framed a traingular monoprint.
The energy of all of the artists has been so inspiring. I love that they chose to solve the problem they were given with their own unique methods, materials, and styles. Most artists created new pieces for this exhibit, which is also exciting. I can't wait to curate the work. I have the task of making seemingly disparate pieces work together collectively, as if created to be shown with each other.
I am also really ecstatic that Cafe Roka will be catering the opening reception. Their food is such a treat, that I highly recommend eating there should one have the money to spend. Of course, you can try some of their salads and appetizers at the reception this Friday, November 11th (11-11-11) from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
All work in this juried exhibition is priced at $110, including tax.
The work will be on display beginning this Friday, November 11 from 6 to 9 pm through November 26th.
