Creative Cortland is in the middle of seeking entries for their 3rd Annual Community Visual Arts Exhibition. Cortland Repertory Theatre Downtown is proud to again present a striking art gallery from the talents of local artists. This year’s theme is “PERSIST.”
Curator and Coordinator Crystal Lyon explains, “This exhibition will explore the idea of persistence by asking: What happens to the imagination under prolonged pervasive circumstances? Art is catharsis. It is an emotional release. As creatives, we make work that conveys a mode of expression that is unique to our individual human experience. An audience connects with these various forms of expression to relate and react. 2020 has been a challenging year for us collectively with varying degrees of difficulty. Ultimately the result has been the exercising of imaginative outside-of-the-box creative discovery leading to new ways to be expressive and stay connected. We ask you as an artist: How did you find communion with your creativity during prolonged pervasive circumstances?”
