Tell me more...

In contemporary art, collage began with a small and shocking Cubist move (think bits of real newspaper, in a serious painting!). Those rogue bits of newspaper, subversively nestled in paint, challenged all sorts of established ideas about what could be partnered with what.

With Collage, we created a multi-day festival which itself becomes an example of a collage. When we think of collage, we think of breaking down and reassembling. It is a process destructive, chaotic & logical. Elements are isolated, mixed up, reassembled. The key is in thinking about the elements as not only bits of paper, but also as ideas and concepts, materials and media, talents, locations, and perspectives- all different combinations and collaborations resulting in new expression of ideas.
Get in touch

Follow us and get involved. Collage staff work Twitter and Facebook and email so like and follow and participate and attend. We need folks to come see art, we need folks to help with all the pragmatic concerns which help make festivals great: setting up and greeting guests and promoting events and carrying small bags of ice and extension cords. Yes!
