HEARTS<\/span> TOGETHER<\/b><\/p>\n

Cool<\/span> Arts<\/span> Society Group Exhibition<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Together with art educators during the weekly programs held in the Cool<\/span> Arts<\/span> Studio in the RCA, artists worked on the concept HEART, digging into the question –\u00a0what does HEART mean? Artists discussed their feelings, thoughts, and ideas; then began their step-by-step big picture planning. These pieces are all representations of these collaborative ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each piece was created with a group of 6 to 8 artists working together. This process encouraged and affected constructive communication and sharing ideas; including skill-building, listening, problem-solving, and planning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The concepts that were shared covered a broad variety. Heart symbolism often conjures up a wide range of emotions, from joy to pain, love and devotion to moral courage and physical strength. The shape is securely embedded in western culture. Represented by an anatomically inaccurate shape, the heart is often used to represent the center of emotion, including affection and love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cool<\/span> Arts<\/span> looks forward to our annual partnership with the FINA Gallery at UBCO where artists get the opportunity to professionally exhibit their art. Creating these important opportunities in the arts<\/span> for people with disabilities, neuro-diversabilities, and other exceptionalities aids in broadening connections and creating relationships with other artists on campus and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, It is important to have this recognized and well-funded FINA space to share the work done by people in our community who are seriously passionate about art and who want more public opportunities. What you will see are 24 artists working together on art of all kinds that includes painting and collage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
