“Mentors: Collaboration and Inspiration”

Artists accepted for this event will have several options of how to participate.

Collaborative Artwork and Poetry:

Option 1: Collaborate with an artist/poet at least 20 years younger or older. Each artist/poet will inspire and mentor the other to create a new artwork or poem, or make one piece together. You can choose your collaborator or I will find someone for you out of the artists who apply.
Option 2: Collaborate with any artist to create a piece for the exhibit. You will find your own collaborator.
Option 3: Artists and Poets can work together to create a piece in either genre. You can choose your collaborator or I will find someone for you out of the artists and poets who apply.

Artists who choose to collaborate will be invited to share a short talk about their collaborative process at the reception, and at docent tour opportunities.
