Found Objects Location Of Big Fun
The deliberate, daily practice of pretty much anything is transformative. Within the creative process, a daily practice can quickly result in a pile of creative work. Fourteenfifteen Gallery (1415 Fourth Street SW) has prompted nearly 30 local artists to spend the month of January working within their own chosen medium to complete one artwork or action each day. The products of that process make up the exhibit Fun-A-Day, opening on Friday, March 6 with an opening reception from 6pm to 10pm. For more information on this free, fun, all-ages event, see fourteenfifteengallery.com.
