So welcome to Endure, our first spotlight gallery event. We chose Endure for its importance to the work of our featured artists, both in terms of technique and materials. Canvas, metal and stone - they're all time-tested. All evoke art and artists that have come before. All depend on the enduring gifts of nature.
We also chose Endure for what it means to art and the art-loving community at large. What does it mean to endure in a changing world and a shaky economy? What are the practices that keep our heads above water? Who are the people we count on, the pleasures that matter? Where do we go for sustenance and succor? What are the values that have sustained us in the past, and promise to do so in the future? These questions (and maybe some answers) are hinted at in the works of our featured artists. That’s one of the reason we admire them.
So stop and take a look. And if you have a moment, drop us a line and tell us what "Endure" means in your life.
Thanks for visiting
