This Inspired That, A Collaborative Success!
In a new Group Exhibition, This Inspired That: an annual exhibition celebrating its 15th year, we will celebrate creativity through collaboration within our community. This year, artists of Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative were invited to draw inspiration from the INSPIRED works of Open Door artists. After selecting an Open Door work that speaks to them, Phoenix Rising artists will create a response piece. The two works will be displayed side by side in this collaborative exhibition.
Thank you to everyone who was able to come to the opening event! We had such a great time meeting our collaborators and sharing the exhibit with family and friends! We’re kicking the year off strong with such a lovely exhibition this spring!
Check out what our Members made in collaboration with the artists of Open Door Studio!
