LACDA Exhibits Scobie Print

Snap to Grid Exhibit

October 9 - November 1, 2008

Every year for the past 50 years, the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show their art for an entry fee to benefit gallery programs. Director Rex Bruce of the Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where artists upload their images to the gallery that prints and hangs them. The hundreds of works received are displayed in a grid reminiscent of postcard art shows popular in the 1980s. The usual selection process where only a few pieces are shown is turned on its head in a curatorial anarchy where everyone gets to participate and the viewer is literally left to be the judge.

My artwork Downtown with Daffodils is reproduced as an 11x14 variant print to fit the grid as part of the SNAP TO GRID exhibit.

The turnout for the show has been awesome with over 1000 people coming through the opening reception in conjunction with the Los Angeles Downtown Art Walk.
