Calling all Artists!!!!!
I am designing a large art show that will involve our awesome community of Northport.
What is the gist? The show I am planning will involve most of our students K-12. All students will be randomly paired with an adult in the community. The adult will not know the student who made the work of art they are receiving. The adult will create a work of art inspired by the student's piece. Both works of art will hang side by side at the gallery. Students will see their artwork hang as well as the adult piece next to theirs. Adults can be at the gallery to meet their young artists and to share their creations with them for the first time. It will be exciting for everyone!
What is the name of the show? Origin & Echo
When Is the Show? May 1st, 2:30-3:30 is the grand opening with students attending.
Afterward, the Northport Arts Association gallery will stay open for viewing after the school day.
Where? Downtown at the Northport Arts Association Building
Can I participate? I am looking for artists in our community to participate and to spread their love for the arts. If you know of an artist but are not one yourself, please help spread the word!
What mediums can I use? Anything you want! If the student's work is clay you can make a scarf inspired by it. If you are a ceramicist, you could make a mug inspired by a kinder's painting. The sky is the limit and this is very open to interpretation.
Do artists have to give their art to the students? They do not. They can use this as a prompt for their own artistic journey, or they can gift the piece afterward.
How do I let you know I want to participate? You can email me at jevans@nport.net
Thanks, everyone. Please let me know if you have any questions at this time.
