EXHIBITION DATES: JANUARY 29 – MARCH 15, 2025
This is the concept of dualism, opposite meanings from the same concept that can complement each other. Is the beauty of the rose found in the flower or the thorns? We are all interconnected to each other and give rise and fall through interactions. There is a natural juxtaposition of these two elements to every side of our thinking; the creative arts often expose to us the dichotomy of emotions within us. Art bridges the spectrum…one man’s triumph is another man’s tragedy and leaves us to ponder what is our interpretation of an artist’s creation. Art causes raw emotions from within to surface, that’s what makes us lean in as we dwell upon an artist’s talent expressed in the piece as we search for understanding and meaning. The power of art is to foster these emotions in us to recognize that a piece of art brings us to a depth of our own understanding and start conversations with others about this. |

A gallery exhibition at the Alpharetta Arts Center in partnership with the City of Alpharetta's Cultural Services, Arts Alpharetta hosts an open call for 'Layers.'
What meaning or message is unveiled through layers? As humans, we our personalities are layered. Our emotions are layered. As artists, how do we use layers to convey or express an idea? For artisans, the use of layers can be critical to construction in specific media. Fabric, fibers, paint, glazes, screen prints, clay, additive sculpture? All could be considered as a means of exploring the depths of creativity. And sometimes, the joy of creating involves the use of layers in the construction of the piece. All media welcomed.
Exhibition Dates: August 7 - September 28, 2024
