August is the perfect time to think back to the carefree days of childhood. Curator A. S. Ashley, King of Theme Art Shows, has asked artists to think back and create ART.
This is truly a dream theme for artists, who dream a lot. Mention it to an artist and you’ll see them venture off to Never-Never-Land. Included in this theme is childhood obsessions, what were you obsessed with as a child, and has it defined who you are today?
PONY PICTURES
Ashley has asked artists to bring a duplicate or artistic interpretation of their “pony picture”. Back in the day, enterprising pony owners would walk through neighborhoods with cowboy gear and pony ready to capture a child’s amazement in a photo. Pony pictures will be displayed in the Joan Weldon Gallery. Oh, and if you were one of the unfortunate kids who didn’t get a pony photo for posterity, well, it’s never too late. Rumor has it there will be ponies at the opening reception, and cowboy gear.
Join us as we open the gallery to the dreams of childhood.
