More Info: www.creativeartsworkshop.org/simple/index.html | | | Still Point V | Monday, April 1 | | | Still Point Art Gallery invites submissions for its upcoming online exhibition: STILL POINT V (Our annual unthemed exhibition). One way of thinking about visual art is that the artist finds or discovers something - be it inside or outside of the artist - and, through art, holds it still. A photographer captures a moment in time with a click of the shutter and that moment is locked in stillness. A painter paints a scene using oils on canvas and that scene exists forever in a motionless state. A sculptor molds and shapes details of a human body, and that body stands frozen, never to age, never to change.
