🖌️ About the Exhibition

Collage and assemblage artists gather all kinds of things to make their art. Different papers, items to make texture, found objects, vintage postcards and ephemera, magazines, and a myriad of other things. But in the end, it all must be assembled to create a cohesive work. An artist can gather hundreds of interesting things, but, ultimately, the artist wants to put them together to create a story, a piece of art that will draw the viewer in and create a feeling that moves the viewer. This is just as it is with any other art form.

In this annual exhibit, “Some Assembly Required,” each artist has produced up to three works that they have coordinated through color, material, texture, theme, and/or composition. This exhibit will have a variety of artistic styles that range from realistic to abstract to everything in between.

The exhibit will run May 13 through June 27. Come on Friday, May 9th to hear the juror speak about their impressions of the exhibit and talk with artists. And then join us for our First Friday opening on June 6.

The Rocky Mountain Collage Society (RMCS) started in 2007 and is a group of artists from around Colorado who provide education and encourage the understanding of collage as a fine art form. The RMCS holds quarterly meetings that include demos on collage techniques and sharing about what is happening in the collage community. Along with their annual exhibit, they periodically have workshops and free “Collage Days” for their members. The annual membership is $35.
