ART CHALLENGE 2015:  Pillow Art Challenge BRIEF

As part 2015 themed ‘Captivated’ ArtNight Community Art Initiative event, we have invited local artists to take part in a design competition, giving artists a chance to showcase their skills, talents, and support our local community.  The participating artists will show off their projects as part of our Reception Event.

Each artist is challenged to design and create works of art using the pillows (textiles) as a medium in any design and style. 

Upon completion, each pillow art will be placed on display during ArtNight Reception Event and each pillow art was offered for sale for charity.  A portion of the sale will benefit inner city schools and capital campaign funds for ThinkArt!’s arts & humanity center, The Tree Haus project.

Pillow Art will be offered for purchase at ArtNight reception event
    §  60% of proceeds to Tree HausTM Capital Campaign Fund
    §  30% to Exhibition Outreach to serve inner city schools
    §  10% to Artist

GAIL MONTOURE

TITLE:                     “Sunday Morning”
DIMENSIONS:      H 23” x W 22” x D 26”
DESCRIPTION:   Imagining a lazy Sunday morning spent reading in bed, for a couple nearing retirement, who finally have a few extra minutes to indulge in dreams of pursuing their post-retirement interests.  For him: Spend more time exploring the sights of Nevada and painting from his own photographs.  For her: Learn more about creating fiber art and building art dolls.

MATERIALS: 100% of the fabrics in “Sunday Morning” came from the pillows donated by Spring Hill Suites: The doll bodies, clothing, hair, bedding, the magazines.  I challenged myself to make no exceptions, and achieved it!  The only non-pillow materials used were for support structures, such as armatures for the dolls, a platform for the bed, and a handful of buttons.  Fabrics were hand-dyed then decorated using acrylic paint and watercolor, crayons, pastels, art bars, ink pencils, and charcoal.

OTHER INFO: All photographs and artwork included in the magazines was created by, and is copyrighted to, the “Sunday Morning” artist.

SPECIAL NOTE:  “Sunday Morning” is an art project.  The dolls are not toys, and are not suitable for use by children.
