Events: Gallery

Art Ventures is excited to announce the exhibition “Bits and Pieces Make a Whole” featuring the work of Art Ventures represented artist Rebecca LaTourette. The exhibition will be on display at the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce June 13, 2022 – August 29, 2022.

Please join us August 23, 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. for a reception with refreshments.

In the works featured you can see the influence of Rebecca LaTourette’s creative childhood, where she made toys from unwanted bits and bobs around her. While each piece has a distinct message and character, they all showcase the spirit of ingenuity that enables their creation. The artworks use materials that she inherited from those who played a meaningful role in her character development and then place them in a new context and imaginative landscape. Through this exhibition we invite the viewer to do the same. What from your past do you carry with you? And what will you make with it now?

What do you get when you bring together 8 different artists, each a master of their own practice, and let their visions combine in a night of never-before-seen performances?

COLLISION—and it is spectacular.

ABOUT COLLISION: WHEN VISIONS COMBINE

An exploration of process, exchange, and play, this collaborative performance experience invites eight local artists to create and perform together for one night only. Presented in collaboration between the Momentary and CACHE, artists have been paired together based on their individual practices and interests, as well as how they might complement or challenge one another. The outcome? Together, the artists’ practices merge into a 15-minute set, to be performed three times over the course of the night and across the Momentary.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness true artistic collaboration. See you there.

Free, no tickets required.
