Reach Out
2008 NZ Art Guild Collaborative Project |
| 88 artists have contributed to 'Reach Out' by creating one small individual artwork each. They were provided with a small wooden panel and given a theme to paint to. The theme this year is 'On your mind' and interpretation of this is entirely up to the artists. When all of these individual artworks are combined they create an overall image and a stunning one of a kind artwork measuring 1.27m x 1.52m. The overall image of the collaborative artwork is kept secret, even from those participating in it, until the unveiling of the artwork on the opening night of the NZ Art Guild annual exhibition "Make it Memorable" This image is now the promotional image for Mental Health Awareness Week 2008 - a nationwide campaign. | |
