WHAT IF ?

How many of you have gone to an art show recently and left thinking: 'Damn, that blew my mind!' or 'Wow!  That's the most fun I've had at an art event'?  How many events have looked like this:  A large, mostly empty space filled with bright-usually warm light.  You walk in.  You may or may not be greeted depending on the availability of the host and/or the perception that you are important enough to acknowledge.  The art hanging on the walls are usually well presented but boring.  You walk up to the wall next to the painting and read the title/description/statement, then walk away feeling either bewildered, confused, dumb, or even annoyed and angry.  You see many people chit chatting away with each other about how amazing the work is and attempt to dazzle each other with their knowledge of the 'style' or 'the process'.  You still do not get it, so you decide to go to the open bar and take a glass of red or white wine(wallet/purse/checkbook lube).  The ART gallery doesn't want to get TOO creative.  You drink, you socialize, and at the end of it all you were probably thinking.. 'wow, I could have done something else.'  If you have not gotten to this point, you very well may.  

Now, what if there was another way to experience art?  What if you could participate in an experience that involves YOU?  What if you could participate in an experience that is ABOUT YOU?  Would you be interested?  I'm proposing an experience like no other I have ever attended or read about.  I'm proposing a Guided Art Experience.  I will provide the concept, the method, the materials(when pertinent), and will be your guide in group discussions during the creative process.  YOU get the opportunity to create YOUR own art based on your discoveries, revelations, and perceptions about the established concept.  These will be multi-disciplinary art happenings.  They may include elements from, but not limited to:  Theatre(of all varieties), illusion, creative lighting, music, story telling, and writing.  These will not be classes.  You may or may not learn something about an art technique.  These will be designed COMPLETELY around YOU so that you, the participant, may get the most (fill in the blank- fun, satisfaction, amazement) from the experience.  I hope to have many collaborators along the way and I intend on touring these experiences if/when the demand arises. 

Thank you for your continued support and I look forward to you attending the first of these experiences!
