Often the beginning of the year is an opportunity for us to set intentions . We have taken stock in our lives , realized what we have to be thankful for and reflected upon the areas that need improvements , or the ways in which we would like to challenge ourselves .
This year came with a few more surprises than we had anticipated , and that sort stole the thunder from personal goals . Many of us feel uprooted and uncertain and discouraged . These are the times when we need to remind each other that our strength always resides in people , in the members of our communities , large and small . Our actions of love and kindness and support are what will keep us going . They will build the net of support , through which we will eventually feel strong enough , secure enough and motivated enough to reach for our dreams again .
In that spirit , GDCA wanted to set the following intentions of love and kindness , through the offerings of 16 amazing downtown artists - offerings of color and spirit , intelligence , grace , beauty , and joy .
You are still an artist , a writer , a builder , a developer of ideas and objects and movements . Your place in the creative cycle , whether it be on the producing or supporting end , is as vital as ever . Your muses are still here . Your joy will be rebound and grow stronger in the process .
Participating Artists : Nurit Avesar , Susanne Belcher , Arnor Bieltvedt , Michele Castagnetti , Gianfranco Cioffi , Carol Cirillo Stanley , Nina Covington , Holly Elander , Mary Fashbaugh , Karen Hansen , Hollie Heller , Stuart Marcus , Crystal Michaelson , Michael Moon , Richard Reiner , Lisa Scadron & Aaron Swindell .
