“Reclaimed”

Think outside the trash can.  Utilizing cast-off materials in the creation of decorative and functional artwork, this exhibition explores the concept that works created from recycled materials are carriers of memory, containing vestiges of their former function into the new art pieces.

“The possibilities for raw materials are endless, as is the potential for artwork being created.”

Resolve/Recovery

In response to the recent violation of our artists and our home, we have received an outpouring of uplifting support from you, the community. Your solidarity has meant more to us than we can possibly say, and for that we are infinitely grateful. The question which we continue to be asked is this:

How can I help?

Our coming exhibition, Resolve/Recovery, aims to focus on our determination to continue moving forward while also acknowledging the need to recover. Our fundraising efforts will be allocated to the artists whose work has been stolen, as well as towards strengthening the security of the gallery and studio spaces. We wish for this experience to make us stronger, and that can happen with your help.

We call to you, the artists of our community, to join us for an exhibition which will show our resolve. We invite you to donate works of art which will be sold for $25 with the proceeds going towards our recovery.

If you are not an artist but would still like to show your support for the Creatures, join us for the exhibition to purchase incredible local talent or consider clicking here to help us in our fundraiser.

“… we also wish to express our resolve, and our strength. Adversity is a badge we wear with pride. We have been tempered. We stand together.”

NICE TO MEET YOU.

We have been supporting emerging artists for the past three years, and with a new year comes a new wave of artists we’ve yet to feature. We’d like to open our doors to artists we’ve yet to have exhibit and expand the talent that is showcased at Creatures.

Submit as many pieces that can fit 6’x6′, no particular size restrictions, no theme needed, any medium and style welcome.

Submission fee is $20. 25% commission taken from sales. Confirmation deadline February 7th, 2014. Pieces to be submitted by February 18th, 2014.
