2010 Intersection Intern Art Walk August 28, 2010

Please join us for a walking tour of artwork curated and created by current and previous participants of Intersection’s Leadership Training Program. We will meet at Intersection for the Arts at 12pm and walk to participating locations. The Regeneration Art Walk will include paintings, photographs, installations, sculpture, video and dance. This multi-location exhibition set in the windows of local businesses explores regeneration as an integral aspect of growth in our personal lives and the lives of our communities. The storefronts and city streets remind us that sharing our art in public spaces helps to enliven communities.
Artists explore the theme of regeneration through the lens of personal fashion, image, and identity. It is woven into sexual histories; experienced within the renewal of spirit and one's kinesthetic relationship with nature; taken to cosmic realms where Mother Nature and technology collide; and used to question what happens to the human body and one's perception of it when it is revamped and reconstituted into virtual form.
The guided art walk on Aug 28th will allow the community an opportunity to hear about each artist’s creative process and response to the theme of regeneration. Much of the work will stay in the storefronts in the weeks preceding and following the art walk, allowing a larger number of people to see the show. As emerging leaders in the arts, current and previous interns are uniquely situated to explore how art can be used to facilitate regeneration in their personal lives, the lives of their communities, and within their continuing work as arts advocates.
