Small Works 2011: Palimpsests

Posted by on Dec 2, 2011 in Bluerock Gallery in the Community, Events at Bluerock Gallery | 0 comments

Show runs from Friday, December 2, 2011 through January 2012

Artist’s Reception ALL DAY 11 am – 9 pm Saturday, December 3, 2011

(Black Diamond celebrates “Light UP”  starting at 5 pm on Saturday, December 3, 2011, with many fun street events – so come to town for Small Works and stay for a party!)

 This year we asked our artists to reflect on the word “palimpsest” and see what they might be inspired to create.  The only limitation we gave is that a 2-dimensional piece must be exactly 12 x 12 inches (finished size), or if the creation is 3-dimensional, it must fit into a 12 x 12 x 12 inch cube.

As usual, our fabulous local artists have been inspired and excited by the challenge, and their new works are beginning to pour into the gallery’s backstock room!  We’ve invited some guest artists to join the fun – so we’ll have not only NEW ART, but some NEW ARTISTS in the show as well!  We’re very excited to see the beautiful and interesting works coming in. And, the show is “under wraps” until December 2!

    [...] I am so pleased that some of my new work (above) is at Bluerock Gallery during December and January, for their ‘Palimpsets’ Show. Be sure to visit them in Black Diamond, Alberta before Christmas, if you can! (Bet you’ll find something to fill every wish on your list!). They have an amazing variety of quality work from local artists. http://bluerockgallery.ca/1561/small-works-2011-palimpsests. [...]
