This July, Gateway Art Gallery is hosting a member show that came together in a pretty unusual way. Every artist in the show pulled two prompts out of a bucket and whatever they drew, that was their assignment.
The catch is that a lot of the prompts didn't exactly play nice together. Some were contradictory, others ambiguous. The point was to hand artists something out-of-the-box and see what they did with it. What came back was exactly what we hoped for — work that clearly took some pondering to create. You can almost see the thinking behind each piece, the moment an artist figured out how to make two incompatible ideas share the same canvas.
The show is called Choose Your Own Adventure, and it's showing all through July at the Gallery. Come see the prompts each artist was working with and how they interpreted them. Some of them will surprise you!
