10 x 10: Richmond Takes The Gallery
June 2 – August 9, 2015
From June 2 – August 9, 2015, 1708 Gallery will open its doors to 10 artists and community organizations. Each of these individuals or groups will occupy the gallery for one week, for a total of 10 weeks. Inspired by a program at Nurture Art, New York, 10×10 is an experiment—an open platform that treats the gallery as a communal space. Artists and organizations will use the time and the space to try something different, to test an idea, to experiment with a project and to engage with new audiences. Across these 10 projects, a picture of the originality and quirkiness, intelligence and ambition and overall creativity of Richmond’s community will be highlighted.
Participants include Valerie Molnar & Matt Spahr (Art Foundation), Milk River Arts, Performing Statistics, Storefront for Community Design, The Houff Foundation, Helen Westergren (Sculpture + Extended Media) & Elisa Rudolph, Community Room, Nikolai Mahesh Noel & Matthew P. Shelton, Angela M.D. Allen (Assistant Director for Undergraduate Admissions) & Marita L. Allen, BridgePark and Travis Robertson.
