On view August 4th-30th is curio’s community exhibition Pocket Art Swap!
About Pocket Art Swap: The idea was formed in 2019 as a way to connect artists together and celebrate the individuality each of us hold in a unique and meaningful way. Inspired by a pad of Stonehenge Legion paper measuring only 2.5 inches by 3.75 inches, we envisioned an exhibition showcasing collections of artist trading cards that would be swapped among the participating artists after the pop-up show, creating an instant collection of personal artist trading cards. The event has evolved into creating under a loose theme (previous themes have been Night & Day, curiosity, The DEEP and All Things Small) where artists can explore and interpret in any media, style and concept. The works are then displayed in the gallery for one month before the swap packs curated by us and are distributed back to each participating artist.
Due to the nature of the swap, works are not for sale, and artists will not receive their own works back.
August’s theme is Flora & Fauna! The world is full of amazing plants and animals, many of which we are aware of, and many more that we may not know about yet. As a participant, you will have 15 opportunities to create miniature artworks that explore this concept in any way you wish. Will you show us fantastic beasts, intrepid creatures, delicate flowers, or a little of each?
