One of the main points of Open Studios is for people to be able to see the artist in that artist's studio. In that way the visitor hopes to gain some insight into how the work of art was created. You see the artist's magic wand, excuse me, brushes and other tools. What kind of surroundings do you need to give those creative juices a push? Maybe you will discover that when you visit. Cornered in his, or her studio the artist might divulge the secrets of art that will aid in unlocking the hidden meanings. Okay, you get the point.
So what happens when a flood prevents access to the studio? In this case we have moved the artist. This year, and we dearly hope it will only be this year, Open Arts has found a space in Boulder for the mountain artists to occupy for the duration of Open Studios. With the mountain community almost cut off from the flatland community, it was a hard decision to make - do we stay in our community with our friends and neighbors, or take a chance to make new friends in the larger community? With regrets, we decided to take the chance. Unfortunately, we couldn't take our studios with us. Outside of our studios, away from the protection of our brushes and magic paints, we will undoubtedly feel somewhat threatened, exposed, or even worse, panicked that no one will visit us. Please visit us and bring friendly faces with you. Our door will be open.
What: Open Studios, or in this case: Open un-Studios
When: October 5,6,12,& 13th from Noon to 6pm
