BIG NIGHT AT RAC! New Exhibition and Public Art Installation Create a Buzz at The Regional Arts Commission on Friday, June 12
Time Well Spent
June 12: Opening reception 5:30 – 7:30 pm; Dedication of new public art installation: Michael Bauermeister’s Support System, 6 pm
Lisa Bulawsky – Amity Faith Herrera (Cor Jesu Academy)
Cameron Fuller – Charlotte Reed (Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary)
Steve Kelly – Jacob Torres (St. Cecilia Academy)

Amy Thompson – Celeste Gardner (Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary)
June 12 through July 19
Gallery hours: Monday - Friday, 10 am to 5 pm; Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 pm
Time Well Spent documents the collaboration between artists from each category: five established artists and five budding artists, ages 6 to 17. Although different in age and experience, the pairs worked together as peers rather than as teacher and student. “I wanted them to influence each other with their different approaches,” said Tom Reed, the curator
of the exhibition. “The goal was to give equal significance to the process of the collaboration as to the work that resulted from it.” “Collaboration offers the opportunity to step outside yourself, outside your comfort zone, into the new or unfamiliar,” said Lisa Bulawsky, one of the participating artists. “But it also forces connections and commonalities to arise. Faith and I began our work together by imaging the mundane as a common point. As the work has continued to develop, those images have evolved to encompass a reflection of our collaborative process itself.” The exhibition features paintings, collages, works on paper and an installation.
