News About the April GBAC Exhibit at The ARTgarage:

Hello Artists,
I have had a few members ask the question about the selection of the 5
words; Animal, Feather, Flowers, Word and Solar System(or symbol). We all
know that we are suppose to pick 3 of the 5 words but some people have
questioned the "solar system/symbol". These 5 words were created just for
this reason - to make our artists think/question outside the "box". You can
interpret these words any way you see fit. So the real question should be will
you create a piece of artwork and then see how it may line up with 3 of the 5
words or do you make your selection first and then create your artwork
around your interpretation?

If you google the term; solar system you might find something such as this
idea:

Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of
planets, moons, asteroids, comets, minor planets, and many other exciting
objects. Learn about the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter, or
explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. (Go ahead and google
solar symbol and you'll get additional ideas!)

Remember to stay connected with your "Buddy". (Note: My "Buddy" is Mary
Ann, who is recovering from double knee replacements - Please keep her in
your prayers).
This art exhibit is scheduled to go up APRIL 1st at the ARTgarage.

Please be ready with 3 pieces of artwork. Each piece should stay within 36" in
any dimension. If any of your work exceeds 36" in any dimension you should
plan on submitting two pieces. If your artwork is greater than 72" in any
dimension you should plan on submitting one piece to this show. If you have
any questions about these measurement guidelines please feel free to call
me. We have room to make exceptions.

Good luck and may the "force be with you",
