Just how DO Artists live together?  Is it a collaboration or...?

“I noticed that artists work to bring something that is hidden into light. That this artistic way of seeing and being in our world opens us to new ways of acting and thinking. Artist’s different perspectives help to bring about change. I like thinking that artists are different. So I decided to explore this idea further.” Karrie Ross, the curator of this show and an artist herself, embarked on a journey to publish books, exploring the art of collaborations between couples that are both working as artists or in related fields. She invited the couples to collaborate with her in a publishing venture and thus created an attractive documentation of the process for making art. 
On view at The Red Pipe Gallery are works by the 12 couples highlighted in the book and the public is invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday March 28th from 6pm – 10pm and the Conversations with the Artists on Sunday March 29th, from 1-pm – 4pm to meet and greet the artists.  Each artist couple will have work on display for sale as well as be there to talk about their experience with the book, their artwork and the collaboration with the author.

“Our Ever Changing World—Through the Eyes of Artists —Couples and Collaborations” brings together twelve couples or 24 artists, one an artist and the other also an artist or involved in a connecting profession. One main question and six self-guided interview questions with photos are included in the book. What is revealed is an insight into how strengths, weaknesses, focus, determination, confidence and intention all play a part in the creation of a loving, giving, playful, atmosphere that allows artists to thrive.” States, Karrie Ross.   www.oureverchangingworld.com
