Starting on May 31, members can stop by Momentum Gallery with one unfinished work and any items that might complement the piece…paint, baubles, beads, or whatever! Please also include your business card or a paper with your name & email address. We will document each piece as it comes in and seal it into a paper bag. (Please remember we are open on Saturdays)
Then attend Rita McIntyre's Artist Reception on June 9 (6-8pm) and pick up someone else's 'stuck' piece. This part is a surprise, as the bags will still be sealed! It's then up to you to finish the work with any technique, materials or medium that strikes your fancy. To be fair, framing costs (if any) should be shared by the two collaborating artists. The finished piece is due back to us by July 26 at noon so we can hang it for the August exhibition called Stuck? Collaborate! Be sure to include your contact information so we know who collaborated on each piece. Each item in the exhibition will bear the name of both artists and a photo showing what it looked like when it first came in.
You can communicate with the “stuck” artist…or not…that part is up to you. If you want to sell the piece, you will need to reach agreement with your collaborator on items like price, split, and custody (who gets it if it doesn't sell?). This is a fun way to challenge ourselves while expanding a sense of community within the guild
