Concepts of Home Art Exhibit



10 + 1 Art Collective will be exhibiting a group showing of our work next month! “Home” will be a show featuring a variety of media including painting, photography, print, digitype (a medium invented by our very own Alma Luz), mixed media and digital art.

The theme “Home” was chosen by our group as it can be visually represented in many ways. It can be interpreted as literal and figurative, from the micro to the macro. It can be positive and it can be negative, and it can be physical and/or spiritual. Each and every member of our group has a different idea and emotional response to what “Home” is, which fits our motley crew quite nicely.

Details and sneak previews will be shown on the blog soon! For now, here's the scoop:

June 1st - 30th

Raw Canvas Gallery

1046 Hamilton Street

Hours:
Mon – Tue: 8am - 5pm

There will be an artists’ reception on Thursday, June 11th from 6pm to 8pm during which all the artists will be in attendance. At the reception guests can enjoy live music and light refreshments. There will also be a no-host bar. After the reception Raw Canvas will feature its popular “Art Jam” in which budding artists can purchase a blank canvas and paint their own creation – all other materials are supplied.

Hope to see you there!

HOME art exhibit is up!


This past Sunday the whole lot of us met up at Raw Canvas to hang our work. It was great to see all of our work come together and very interesting to see how well it flowed along the white brick wall at the gallery/painting bar. Kevin must be given credit for doing a fabulous job of hanging most of the work. I took a few photos as a record which you can see below. I can't wait to see the place full of art lovers and potential buyers on the evening of June 11th! ;-)
