Prizewinners of Box Pot: The Contained Container 

March 13 - April 4, 2015 

Opening Reception: Friday, March 13, 5 to 7 pm

Strati di Memoria, Layers of Memory
March 13 - April 13, 2015

How would you contain a container? And why? In 2014, juror Garth Clark posed those questions to artists across the country and selected fourteen to offer answers in our National Juried Show -- Box Pot: The Contained Container.

Join us this Friday, March 13, to see new work from the prizewinners of that exhibition:

Thomas Edwards (Prizewinner), Jeremy Brooks (Honorable Mention) and Sarah Fagan & Daniel Granias (Honorable Mention). Also, take this opportunity to meet the artist! During the opening, Thomas Edwards will speak about his work and process. 

Concurrent with the Prizewinners Show, the Creative Works Gallery features an exhibition of paintings by New Haven architect, Barry Svigals -- Strati di Memoria, Layers of Memory.

  

The Prizewinners Show is generously sponsored by People's United Bank.

We also invite community members to attend our dinner for a fifteen dollar donation. The artists are required to do a written proposal and submit it ahead of time so we can make copies for everyone. When people pay their money they get a packet of proposals and a little slip of paper to vote with.  Artists will present their community art project, all attendees will vote and the artist with the most votes will get the proceeds from the dinner to create the community project. If needed, public approvals must be in place to receive funding.

What it does:   Spark events provide instant seed money for artists who have a well-planned art project that would be beneficial to the community or community members. Painting classes, dance classes, public exhibits, murals, classes, and concerts all have been funded across the country through events such as this.
