WE ARE ART CREATIVE INNOVATIONS IN EXPERIENCING ART
KEALY DONALDSON
It’s a different time and our use of public space has
changed; the Arts continues to push through the pandemic by providing innovative solutions for people to access bodies of work. As we look into community to see how Artists are progressing, many projects are surfacing for the public to enjoy.
Campbell River Art Gallery is featuring their annual Members Exhibit with the entire exhibit on-line; it’s a beautiful experience to move through and easy to navigate. 42 Artists are featured in this 39th Annual Show and you can visit these works right from the comfort of your own home. Unwind and enjoy!
Looking at public space, the Comox Airport YQQ and Comox Valley Arts continue their relationship with the public art display in the airport itself. This year’s exhibit, “The Elements” was planned before covid, and submissions had already been accepted. It truly is an interesting time to be creating art and experiencing something as a truly global community. Their jury had the difficult task of selecting 25 pieces to hang in the Airport, from among more than 70 submissions. This year, because of Covid-19, they decided to showcase ALL the submissions online. It’s well worth the visit and wonderful way to be inclusive with their virtual space.
Speaking with some Artists directly, with the financial constraints that people are facing, some Artists chose to promote renting their art versus buying it. It’s a not a new concept but it can create revenue for the Artist and when a buyer becomes ready to purchase, the pieces will have permanent homes while they have been enjoyed by many before.
All in all, it’s time to be creative and make bold changes to how we do things. The creative world has embraced this and adapted well into this new time.
