The Half Your Age art exhibition will feature pairs of local artist working together. The collaborators are (roughly) half or twice each other's age . Each pair will create a piece or a small series with the idea that the younger energy may spark something new and interesting for the older partner or visa versa. The exhibit also provides gallery exposure to the new' younger member as well as an opportunity to experience a more established artist's studio practice. The synergy promises some interesting results and stories.
Participants include:
Sophie Allen & Camille Allen
Rosemarie Calista & Ian Wickstead
Laurie Clark & Kelly McGinnis
Dick Crenson & Franc Palaia
Tarryl Gabel & Kelly McGinnis
