Assemblage and collage involve the thoughtful combination of elements to create something new and original. Each process differs significantly when materials are chosen, collected, and combined with one another, however, the mentality of both techniques is to synthesize materials to produce a cohesive result. “Putting It Together 2: The Art of Assembling” will showcase assemblage and collage pieces alongside one another, combining both practices into an assembled collection of 2D and 3D artwork.
Artists are invited to submit up to three pieces of artwork. Entries must be submitted by April 8, 2019. “Putting It Together 2: The Art of Assembling” will open with a reception on Friday, May 31, 2019, from 5:30-8 pm in the main gallery. The exhibition will be on display from May 31, 2019 to July 19, 2019. Three prizes will be awarded at the Opening Reception: two Juror’s Choice Awards of $200, and a Going Solo Award that offers the recipient a solo exhibition in one of our galleries.
Mixed media Artist and Associate Professor of Art and Art History at St. Louis University, Deborah Douglas, will serve as juror for this exhibition. For more information about Deborah Douglas and “Putting It Together 2: The Art of Assembling”, visit www.foundryartcentre.org.
