17th International Collage Exhibition and Exchange

An artist, Dale Copeland, has established an international show in New Zealand of collages from all artists who participate by sending a collection of about 13 collages. Some artists send more and some less, but all must be a small size.  All of the pieces need to be 8" X 10" or smaller. Each artist will have a piece offered for sale on the Vitual Tart website. To see last year's collection, view The 16th International Collage Exhibition & Exchange

Each artist will have one part collage on the month-long exhibition on the Virtual TART site during April and then permanently on the web at the above link.  Nothing for this year yet. It will be posted on April, 2015.

Also one of each artist's pieces will be then donated to an art institution somewhjere in the world. Yet to be decided. In 2013, I had a collage donated to the Puke Ariki museum in New Plymouth, New Zealand.

After April and after the museum donation, each artist receives a collection of about 12 collages from the participants. These are sent by mail.

Here are just 2 of the 12 pieces I plan to mail to New Zealand.. The first collage is How A Man Can Win A Woman's Heart. The second collage is: The Sweet Voiced Bird. Both have hand-made paper that I did in a workshop in Honolulu, January 31. The color on the paper is colored pulp embedded into the handmade paper.

Painting with Pulp workshop in Honolulu Museum' s Spalding House

High up in the foothills of Honolulu is a beautful space for art classes and a gallery. Yesterday I spent all day with creative teachers, Liz Train and Allison Roscoe. We made paper and adding colored pulp to the hand-made paper.
Here are some pictures of the beauty of the land and museum.

I had an interesting and creative experience. When I brought my work home,I added collage and pen. Here are some pieces.
