The post below is a copy of an article/press release submitted to the Denman Island Flagstone Nov. 2010 by LeeAndra Jacobs and Cathy Stoyko (me). If you are not in the Comox Valley area and can't attend, I hope this article may inspire you to create a similar event in your community!
Ready, get set, GO! Where? To the Denman Island Arts Centre, Sat. Nov. 13th, noon- 4PM. Everyone is invited to drop in, create, and play. When you come through he door you will find various tables set up with art supplies, projects, and prompts to inspire you to meet your 'challenge'. One table will dare you to create Artist Trading Cards , the next will set you up to make an 'oracle card' or create a DADA poem. Yet another will have post card blanks and post cards to alter. Mail art projects from around the world will be posted, as well as lots of other inspiring collaborative projects ideas. This special art jam event will be co-hostessed by Cathy Stoyko, Roxanne Cowles-Macphail and LeeAndra Jacobs. Discover the magic of collaborative art, correspondence art , and creating together in a warm and inclusive atmosphere. All materials, tea/coffee, and cookies provided. This is for everyone, regardless of art experience, age... Children are encouraged to attend but need to be accompanied by an adult. This event is by donation. Donations will go to cover materials and to support Arts Centre upkeep.
The Denman Island Arts Centre has endevered to set the stage for various community collaborative art events. Beside the 'Art Challenge' on Nov 13, the centre will once again host a community collage night on Friday Nov 17th, 5-9PM. In past years, the Denman community has been invited to answer a question in the form of an 8X6 collage page. The pages are then collated into books which become time capsules reflecting the community sentiments in a year. Thanks to Cathy Stoyko and Cynthia Minden for making these books happen.
Hope to see you there!
P.S. I will bring my typewriter
