Art for All: Local Rivers

This July 13th to 24th, Cornerstone Associates and the Disability Equity Center of Corvallis invite everyone to participate in Art for All, a virtual art-making event with the theme of “local rivers.” From the Willamette River to the rugged coast, water connects Oregonians. Join us daily from 2:00–3:30pm, Monday through Friday the week of July 13th, as visual artist Andrew Myers leads participants of all abilities in a real-time, collaborative art-making journey about our local rivers as unifying natural forces bringing diverse people together. Participants can join in by calling, emailing, and chatting online about the work. For details, send an email to bburris@cornerstone.org or call (541) 740-0691. Many thanks to the Benton County Cultural Coalition and Willamette University for their important partnerships on this endeavor.

Article preview: “Picture this: You’re online watching an artist create; seeing him sketch faint lines over a large piece of paper and fill in the shapes with washes of color. You’re inspired. You have an idea for the piece. Maybe it’s something you’ve created yourself, or maybe you just wish the artist would add it in for you. You want to be a part of this project. And so you get on the phone, or you send an email, or you scan in your drawing, or you type your thought into the provided chat window — and as you watch, the artist takes your idea and makes it a part of the work. Welcome to ‘Art for All,’ an artist-in-residency partnership sponsored by Corvallis agencies Cornerstone Associates and the Disability Equity Center. The partnership is starting by asking participants to join in a real-time, collaborative work it’s calling an ‘art-making journey’ from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday the week of July 13. The theme is ‘local rivers.’ Corvallis artist Andrew Myers will lead the project, bringing the joint artistic vision to life as people call, email or chat online about the work.” Read the full article by Andy Cripe at the Corvallis Gazette-Times.
