Ex-hibitions

Pardon the bad pun for the title, but I’ve had an idea for a while, and I’m wondering if there’s any interest at Ecclesiax regarding use of the gallery for community art again.

Specifically, I’ve been thinking about issuing a “challenge” or “topic” or some sort of theme for the month (or it could be quarterly, or whatever we have time to organize), and encourage people to take photos, paint, cross-stitch, or what ever (make jell-o molds?) along the line of the theme. We would then have an “opening” (a great excuse to invite friends to a party, and invite some of our locale musicians to perform) to show off all the work done on that theme.

Is this something people would be interested in participating in? Is this something people would be interested in helping me organize? Do people have ideas for themes?

I think this is a great idea Jim, and I’d be glad to help.

I think it’s a good idea too. I just don’t check this tag very often, apparently … I think we should do it less frequently than monthly to make it more of an “event”, esp. if we are going to do an opening each time. When the auction is over, we will be into Lent …. there must be abundant themes that could be tied to the season.
