IMAGILLABORATION
A Creative Synthesis of Imagination and Collaboration

Inspired by the 'Exquisite Corpse' collaborations of the surrealists, and born from the belief that, however many of us there may be, contemporary sculptors comprise a true community, comes IMAGILLABORATION.

This Project seeks to bring a community made up of visionary and creative individuals even closer together as we share our unique skills and inspired perspectives on art through the process of collaboration.

Overview:

Groups of artists from around the country will work collectively over the course of a year to produce a body of sculptural work, one sculpture for each person participating. Groups will consist of eight people. At the beginning of the project, each artist will start a sculpture by creating an element that will be added to by the other participants in the group. Every Six weeks for 48 weeks the sculptures will be passed on to other members in the group. At the end of the 48 week period all of the pieces will have been worked on by each member of the group. The Project will culminate in a traveling exhibition and virtual exhibition on the Imagillaboration web site.

This project promises to be a HUGE success, and has the potential to grow exponentially. YOU can help make that success a reality. SUPPORT Imagillaboration

TRI-STATE SCULPTORS ASSOCIATION
The Tri State Sculptors Education Association was formed in 1978 by a group of sculptors from Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina to promote public awareness and appreciation of sculpture in the region and to exchange ideas and information among its members.

The organization holds annual Fall conferences with concurrent exhibitions. Presentations cover a wide range of topics of interest to sculptors and those interested in sculpture--casting techniques, public art, studio hazards, gallery relations, etc. Each Spring there is a more informal conference when members can get together to share ideas and socialize. Other events and exhibitions are organized each year as the need or opportunity arises. Members also stay connected and informed through a quarterly newsletter.

The 300-plus members' works range from realistic to conceptual; in scales from architectural to intimate. Media include metal, wood, stone, plastic, fabric, concrete, and found objects, to name a few.

Membership is open to anyone interested in sculpture, regardless of style, medium, education, or location.

ARTISAN RESOURCE CENTER
About the center:

The ARTISAN RESOURCE CENTER was created as a center where Artisans could establish a business plying their trade and make a living at it.

The center houses 25 studios in more than 43,000 square feet with Artists and Craftsmen working in the fields of sculpture, screen printing, custom furniture making, photography, portrait painting, contemporary painting, ceramics, wood turning, textiles, architecture, wood working, decorative arts, jewelry, graphics, advertising, and theatre .

The facility was established in 1986 and artists in the center primarily serve the architectural, design, commercial and wholesale markets, although several studios concentrate on retail sales of art and art instruction/classes. Studio rental is available.

Artisans are able to share information and keep each other up to date on shows, new techniques, or pass on business opportunities to one another through client contacts, and, the center makes it easy for a client to follow the progress of a multi-medium piece by simply walking from studio to studio.

In 2001 the name of the facility was changed from "Nunn Complex Fine & Functional Art Center", which referenced the historical aspect of the builder of the building (Barney Nunn) and was changed to Artisan Resource Center (A.R.C.) to express a more representative identity.

THE ART OF JULIE BENDER
Another woman who likes to fire things up! Julie is a true friend and fellow artist. Check out her incredible work.

Welcome to my collection of one-of-a-kind hand-created custom pyrographic art. Pyrography, the art of burning or scorching on a natural surface, such as wood or leather, is one of the oldest art forms dating back to cave drawings by those fascinated by the mysterious beauty and power of fire. To this day pyrography continues to captivate our imagination as its natural canvas blends impressively with wildlife, portraiture and landscape to create rich impressions of art imitating life.

As a pyrographer and perfectionist, I work meticulously with each individual burning in order to capture the essence and true spirit of each subject. Your unique piece of art will be yours to enjoy, treasure and pass on to future generations for years to come. I invite you to explore with me by imagining the possibilities.
