Community Arts Project Exhibition & Five Year Anniversary Celebration

There are two ways to donate... Make artwork: Paradigm Gallery + Studio provides the materials, while you bring your creativity. Everything made will be displayed in the studio and donated to support the gallery. All are welcome. No artistic experience needed. Purchase artwork: For this benefit exhibition, we are suggesting a $20+ donation for each piece of artwork purchased. We are offering a pay-what-you-can price range to help make it possible for a larger community to purchase original, local artwork. February 27th - March 21st ARTWORK DROP-OFF DUE DATE: Thursday, February 19th OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, February 27th • 5:30pm - 10:00pm Gallery Open Hours: Saturdays • 12-6pm About the project and exhibition: Paradigm's Community Arts Project began three summers ago (Impressively run by our summer interns, Caitlin and Sean!), and the support has been fantastic! We have invited people to join us for free art classes at the gallery. We are inviting anyone that would like to participate in this program to stop by to create work in the space on select Saturdays (listed below) from 12-6pm or take a 6" x 6" woodblock to-go to create work for an exhibition opening this February. Let your imagination run wild for this one - the theme is open for the exhibition. UPCOMING FREE ART CLASSES: Lettering and Chalk Painting with Kelly P.

Additional details: All artwork is due by February 19, 2015. If you have any questions about donating artwork for the event, please email sara@paradigm-gallery.com using the subject line "Community Arts Project". Please make sure to write your name on or attach it to the back of your piece so we know who to thank.

Artwork may be dropped off after-hours through our front gate, but please wrap your artwork in bubble wrap or similar protective materials if you do this -- We don't want anything to happen to your beautiful artwork!
