Launch Pad Cooperative is presenting ARText, a collaborative exhibition of visual art and words that experiments in cross-disciplinary methods of innovation by randomly pairing the work of each of the visual artists from Launch Pad with the literary context of local poets from Toledo’s prolific literary scene. The participating artist/poet pairings include: Timothy Gaewsky/ Andrew Field, Crystal Gale Phelps/Zach Fishel, Julia LaBay/Courtney Fillion, Ian Welch/Carl Deitrich, Hannah Lehmann/Kayla Williams and Tinola Mayfield-Guerrero/Tara Armstrong.
This challenge of combining visual art and spoken word pushes the limits of routine creative processes while uniting the talent and imaginations of two distinctly different creative communities — the makings of this thought-provoking show.
An opening reception will be held on Fri. April 26th from 6-9pm with light refreshments. Free. Launch Pad Cooperative, 911 Jefferson Ave., [email protected]
