CREATION/DELIVERY:
Thank you so much for being a part of the Foundry’s Collaborative Art Project!
You have been given one square to complete, using the design below to fill your 10”x10” canvas. We know it’s pixelated!
Please keep in mind that while your piece will reflect your own style and brush/collage work, it will be part of a larger work and so will hopefully blend with the others to create an integrated and vibrant work of art!
All canvases need to be returned to the Foundry June 2-4, 11am-3pm, or sooner.
We will put them together and reveal the whole picture in the Spotlight Gallery June 16-July 23.

Women@Work
Women's Work Collaborative Art
The Foundry is celebrated our community's women with a work of collaborative art.
The photo of women at work was broken up into squares that was brought back together to create the image.
Thirty six women artists, Foundry members and many more from the community, spent August creating the blocks to make the image whole. None of the artists have seen the whole image. The whole work was unveiled on Friday September 4th during downtown.
During the two months the piece was in the Foundry viewers were able to sponsor blocks to support WIN. The finished piece can now be viewed at WIN office, Women In Need.
The collection of images collectively assembled is known as an “Exquisite Corpse” and started in the 1920s as a game for artists and writers.
Diversity grant sponsored by First Energy
