"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences."
-Audre Lorde

Call Out for Artists!
One of the several exciting exhibits that arts a'loft is funding this year is Barebones; anything naked that is drawn, sketched, painted, colored in crayon, made of iron, constructed of tin cans or stitched together with fibers is acceptable. It can be framed, matted or taped to core board, I don't care. And this just in; it doesn't have to be a woman! There are naked tree branches, skulls and femurs. Surprise me. Artists, let's lean into this for a July exhibit! Submissions by June 1st, please. All work will be juried. No cost to submit and submit more than one!
35% consignment fee if sold. Scroll down to see flyer.
Culpeper Walls!;
arts a'loft is joint venturing with the CRI (Culpeper Rennaissance) to paint murals on some boring, plain or just unsightly Culpeper building walls. Start imagining! Get your ideas on paper! Submission forms will be forthcoming soon! ANYONE can submit their ideas, it does NOT HAVE TO BE historical or pastoral. It can be something totally different, unique, clever, witty or your wall can celebrate Virginia horse country, the vibrant wine region here or highlight famous people from the area. CRI has already identified buildings to paint in town, volunteers will prepare the surface for painting, and this IS a paying gig! Don't think you have what it takes to produce a large mural? Got a great idea? Would love to work on a wall mural? Consider gathering a group of artists! Worried about transferring small image to large wall...stop it...volunteers will help either with grid work or projecting image, whichever way works best for you. Scaffolding, paints, brushes, and rollers will be provided. Volunteers prepare the surface for you and will apply the varnish and protective coat after completion! So start imagining now!
Great opportunity for artists and awesome for Culpeper!
