In order to highlight our paper-based workshops, we will have a communal collage mural happening throughout the Art Walk weekend. Instead of lines and shapes drawn onto the canvas, color names will be written in various areas. The image will form as participants add correlating colored pieces of paper of various sizes and textures that blend from one color zone to another. They will find their papers of choice by tearing and cutting from a large library of books, magazines, and other scraps that will be provided.

On display will be artwork by gallery co-manager, Jason Horst, plus pieces by new artist members.
