The PatchUp Mural Sessions

Gallery Opening, October 3rd, 6 – 9pm

For each month over the past year we opened the panels on our 8′ H x 24′ L backyard wall for a pairing of artist to work together and create something fresh. At the end of each month we pulled one of the 6 panels, put it in storage, primed over the rest, and left a new canvas for the next artist. The art lived outdoors year round and was not only exposed to the weather, but also open to any member of the community that wanted to add to the panels in anyway they chose. This first edition of The Patch-Up spoke to the power of community & collaboration. The panels you see here are from 10 months of project and the artist who brought the panels to life have their personal art represented on these walls as well.
