Opening Reception:
Saturday, July 13, 2019, 6 to 9 p.m.
Artist Talk at 6:30 p.m.
Texas based artist
Delita Martin will present her artwork and new book
"Shadows in the Garden" at the Community Artists' Collective Saturday, July 13, at an opening reception at 6 p.m.
An artist talk beginning at 6:30 will be followed by a book signing with books available for purchase. The "Shadows in the Garden" exhibition, which is in association with PrintHouston 2019, continues through July 27.
The book focuses on the work and artistic journey of Martin. It highlights art from several exhibitions and works held in various collections around the country. Contents of the book include a foreword by Dallas artist and curator
Vicki Meek and an interview with artist
Joshua Asante of Little Rock, Ark.
Dr. Kheli R. Willetts and
Gary Reece of Houston have each contributed original essays.
The book features full color images of Martin's works. The works included in this publication examine the transition of women into their "spiritual self" and reinforce the bond among women and how they co-exist in the physical and spiritual realms.
"Through the layering of various mediums and symbols I can pull the viewer out of a logical and common world and place them within a space that offers a glimpse into the spirit world," Martin states.

The Collective's Community Outreach
The Collective opened "A Musical Tribute" exhibit
with the artwork of Mack L. Bishop III in collaboration
with the Community Music Center of Houston
and its talented musicians. Dominic R. Clay
curated the exhibit, and Merian Sherrod facilitated
an artist's talk with Bishop later in the month.
************
Ashley Turner, center, and Kim Roxie, left, invited their friends to learn more about The Collective and its activities during the "A Musical Tribute" exhibition. Mack L. Bishop, III, right, discussed his art with the group, which was treated to champagne and cupcakes on a Saturday morning. Thank you, Ashley, for introducing new friends to The Collective.
Enjoy the Facebook album.
