The Community Canvas Project was founded in October 2020 as an initiative to bring the creative process to life for all members of the community!
Every few weeks a local artist lays the foundation for a painting and the community has the opportunity to not only react to it but ADD to it as well! Bridging the gap between the public and emerging local artists, these collaborative pieces bring the public into the creative process not only as an observer but as an active participant.
It has been extremely rewarding watching this series come to life over the past few months and I am very excited to be the next artist in line! So yes...if you participate you will get to paint on my painting!
This project is located in Artspace Studio 216, right around the corner from my studio! Each community member gets one color and one artist tool to use to bring their vision to life and make their mark. All materials are provided by the project founders.
My piece will be one of many in this painting series. At a future date these completed collaborative works of art will be on display and auctioned off to raise money for a local charity organization (TBD).
The Community Canvas Project was founded and is run by Adriana Ameigh with the assistance from fellow artist Barb Cherry.
Ever-Evolving Painting In Progress
This project is ever evolving and the “completion” date is yet to be determined. Just as with any other painting, you can not always plan for how long it will take for a piece to come together.
To make your mark on this painting, visit Artspace during our open studio hours! However, since as artists our schedules vary, to ensure that myself and the project founders will be present to facilitate (and celebrate!) your contribution to the project, please schedule a studio visit.
