Amy Pitchford makes a contribution at the “Seven” art show. She and others in attendance were prompted to make contributions to a 17-foot-wide by 6-foot-tall canvas.
Inspirational, collaborative and artistic are all words that described last Friday’s “Seven” art show at Vault Video.
The venue was filled with the eclectic sounds of a DJ Bronzai set.
The show consisted of several Stillwater artists, whose work covered the walls of Vault Video.
All of the pieces were impressive, but socialogy major Cape Hart’s homage to rock n’ roll was something special.
“[My work] is a tribute to great rock musicians such as Linkin Park, Aerosmith and ACDC,” Hart said.
Kelsey Brooks displayed extraordinary portrait pieces and other abstract art.
Sitting outside of Vault Video was a large canvas with several artists contributing to the once blank piece, a practice known as collaborative painting.
Stillwater Artists’ Coalition head Damon Blalack said, “The group painting was open to everyone, and its purpose was to bring all artists of different genres together. {It} allowed people to discover their inner artists.”
While the canvas filed up with interesting art, a raffle gave away gift cards and t-shirts.
After the raffle three great acts performed.
Michael Bollinger created a melodic sound with only an acoustic guitar.
Next up was Arthur Elins, another acoustic guitar player who brought down the house.
His expressive sound was amazing and he had everyone swaying.
Last was Language of Light, which was a great mellow act.
When asked about the purpose of this event, organizer Aaron Schmidt said, “[We tried] to create a great art experience that not only makes a difference, but brings people together.”
For those who are looking to create art or interact with other artists keep up with Stillwater Artists’ Coalition events.
More art shows will be announced soon.
