Collaboration in the Arts: Discussion Forum
Join us May 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the Harris Auditorium of the Brevard Art Museum for a free and open forum on the topic of Collaboration in the Arts. The evening will open with questions directed to two of the artist-poet pairs who participated in the year long creative collaboration project known as Transformations. These artists worked with someone they did not previously know and who excelled in a different field. Their work is now hanging in the Museum exhibit as an example of what happens when ideas and nuances are shared.
The audience will be welcome to participate by bringing their questions and own experiences to share and discuss. We will seek to uncover the benefits and the drawbacks to working with another individual and ways that artists can use this experience to enhance not only their future techniques but their ideas and inspirations. Painters, writers, poets, dancers, musicians, sculptors, potters and actors are all invited to attend.

Grand Opening
The "Transformations" project was an event in which each piece of art was accompanied by a co-created poem. The opening of the exhibit included a reading of each poem and the co-created art on April 17, 2010. A reception followed. Dr. Edmund Skellings was honorary chair. It was held in the Brevard Art Museum and the exhibit will hang at the museum for 4 weeks following.
Groups interested in field trips or guided tours should contact the museum at (321)242-0737 and ask for Tina. A study guide for classes will be provided.
A book chronicling the process and development of the poetry and art is available for sale in the gift shop of the museum.
