Spring Exhibition #2 | The 4th Chair Project
Friday, April 4 through Sunday, May 4
Curated by Heather Carter & Jules Buck Jones
ARTSPACE is excited to announce the opening of their next art exhibition, The 4th Chair Project, on April 4. The show will commence with an opening reception from 6pm to 8pm. Exhibiting artists will be in attendance, and refreshments will be served. The 4th Chair Project will be showing until May 4.
The 4th Chair Project was an idea born from the construction of 4 sculptural chairs that projectART designed with their practicum student last Spring. After setting up 3 chairs in the front patio of ARTSPACE, there wasn’t enough space for the 4th chair to be displayed. Students and patrons then began to inquire, “Where’s the 4th chair?”
It occurred to projectART board members that the absence of the 4th chair is a metaphor for the absence of robust art programs in the public school system. projectART was created to fill this absence, using its classes and programming to fulfill its mission to make more creative opportunities available for the youth of Wimberley. In short, projectART IS the 4th chair, and The 4th Chair Project encapsulates this idea.
For this particular exhibition, ARTSPACE invited area artists to create a chair, a 4th chair, to symbolize the missing piece of today’s public school system – ART. Their creations are two- and three-dimensional, functional and not, literal and abstract.
The 4th Chair Project exhibiting artists are Lance Letscher, McKay Otto, Gary Weeks, Andy Rihn, Jennifer Moore, Andy Coolquit, Hollis Hammonds, Heather Carter and Emmett Cole.
Not only is art a form of self-expression, it also teaches problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding abstract concepts. projectART aims to fill the void of robust art programs in schools and provide these important tools for our youth and community. Please consider donating to projectART to support our mission.
