"Member 20x20" & "Arcane Alchemy" Opening Receptions
Shop a dazzling array of artwork and objects created by local artists and makers at CREATE Council On The Arts this holiday season during “Member 20x20 Show 2024”. This exhibition is an opportunity to support the work of local creatives while shopping a large assortment of arts and crafts that are perfect for gift-giving. From November 15th to December 29th, over 60 of CREATE’s member artists are provided a 20” x 20” space to showcase and automatically sell their work. Purchases are available to take at time of sale so new work is introduced and restocked throughout the exhibit’s run, inviting patrons to return for multiple visits.
Meanwhile, CREATE’s second floor gallery will debut “Arcane Alchemy”, a special collection of works showcasing “the arts” of Kate Laity and Stephanie Johnson. This exhibit “is an exploration of art as magic and magic as art,” explains Laity. “Magic, witchcraft and alchemy infuse our work and in turn our work presents, inspires and embodies our magical practices. Magic has often been the province of those denied power: women and non-binary peoples, the enslaved, the exploited. The ritual of magic offers a sense of control often denied. True magic is not hocus-pocus; it is art. It is creation.”
