The Vancouver Project Introduction

By scottk

I thought I would try to introduce this project and post a few images…

The Vancouver project was one of those interesting opportunities that sort of fell out of the sky for most of us - we all tended to be a bit skeptical and wondered if it was some sort of scam when we first heard about it…. It turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my artistic life. We got to make art for two weeks in a distraction free environment. We spent time getting to know each other and greatly enjoyed the camaraderie that naturally develops when you spend time cooking, cleaning, and relaxing in a small dorm suite in an unfamiliar town. We spent a lot of time talking about what it is like to be an artist and a person of faith. We read some challenging articles about those topics and stayed up way too late debating and learning from each other. We made a lot of art.. some of us made more work in those two weeks than we had made in the previous three months put together. It was all a blessing…
