The projection building lies at the busy intersection of Columbus, Stockton, and Green in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. Ben and Ardith, both digital artists, have spent four years considering the role that art plays in daily life, and how people treat artists on the basis of that role. Art was too much of a separate experience from everyday existence, as exemplified by museums, galleries, and their restrictive entrance fees and hours of admission. They joined forces with Ruth and created Global Collage. The Collage Team has been collecting art from all over the world during the past two years, via their site on the World Wide Web.
Submission is free, and all types of images are welcome.
The Global Collage website will remain active, and is definitely worth repeat visits. I keep it in the background whenever I'm on the Web, to enjoy the intriguing rotating 30-second image displays of work by a true international gallery of artists. The wall projections and Web site have been enthusiastically received both by viewers and artists. I congratulate Ruth, Ardith, and Ben, and invite all readers to visit their Global Collage site. Tell every artistic person you know to submit something, and keep in touch with the Team.
