EXHIBITIONS
 

June 6 – July 12, 2008

 

Art Is My Bag is a group show exploring the Art of Bags, about Bags, or with Bags.

Art Is My Bag started with the idea of art created from the everyday objects that we take for granted, the things we throw away; and creating environmental art. With that in mind I have invited several artists to create Art of Bags, about Bags, or with Bags.

Artists ranging in age from 9 years old to 73 were invited to create works that explore humanity’s use of resources and the global impact on the environment centered on the bag. The participants have created a wide variety of work including conceptual pieces - paintings and drawings about and including bags, sculpture, collages using paper bags, installations, assemblage, weaving, and knitting - that address subjects such as reuse and recycling, global warming, power use, and identity.

The goal of Art Is My Bag is to demonstrate the accessibility of art and explore environmental art centered on an everyday object, the bag.

Enjoy!
