ArtParts: Artists Using Social Media

Traditionally, being an artist has been accompanied by a mystique about how art gets made (fate, a gift of the muses, luck, a complete mystery...?) that fascinates many of us. So it is with great expectancy we might ask, "How does art actually "'happen'?" Where better to find answers than at The Drawing Studio, which is dedicated to cultivating the skills of visual intelligence in people of all ages through a developed curriculum, opportunities for fellowship and professional support, and interpretive exhibitions.

Five artists associated with The Drawing Studio have teamed to provide a visual journey of how art happens, from scheduling time in the studio to developing an idea from a sketch to the finished piece. "Art Parts" also includes the development of all the "parts" necessary to accompany art into the public eye, such as artist's statements, websites, blogs, how artists talk about their art and more. The art in this show covers a representational cross-section of artistic approaches, work styles, and a variety of studio spaces.

Whether you are an artist, student, collector, or art enthusiast, this show will give you a chance to see some wonderfully diverse art, and also give you a fascinating look behind the scenes of being an artist.
