Hey everyone!
Here is the remaining dates and times and other particulars for the show I recently curated under my arts project, the 'dAP.
River's Edge Gallery
3024 Biddle Ave.
Wyandotte, MI. 48192
(734)246-9880

This show is curated by the 'dAP (the 'dotte Arts Project). The 'dAP consists of my friend and co-gallery director Jeremy and myself. The purpose of the 'dAP is to bring artists, musicians and crafters who are creating the future of the metro Detroit cultural scene to the downriver area. The 'dotte stands for Wyandotte and we use it because that is where this project took root.
Underexposed is a show of artists who are just that, underexposed. Some of the artists are those whom showed at our festival during the Wyandotte Street Art Fair and others are those who we have picked up on elsewhere.
Many of the artists in the show have never shown in a gallery before, we like to call them gallery virgins. Many of them are fresh out of art school.
Jeremy and I aim to help these artists build their resumes and shape their bodies of work to something that is more strong and saleable. We assist them in all aspects when asked including the writing of artist statements, formation of ideas, marketing and networking.
Also in the show are artists who have shown but we feel are underexposed due to their endeavors in other fields. Age and artistic ability are never factors in who is represented by the 'dAP. The truth of the matter is that many people can draw and paint and do it well.
What makes an artists is not only a desire to create but also a need to create. True artists need to create much like breathing.
I hope you all will come to see who we have chosen for our inagural year. The artists include Howard Davy, Shannon Burnett, Emily Duke, Kelly Darke, Ryan G. Hill, Erin Suess, Larry Larson, Brett Scott, Jeremy E. Hansen, Robert Wright and Haley Vining. Underexposed features painting, printmaking, mixed digital media, ink & watercolor, craftmaking, pottery, embroidery and more.
The meet the artist night Friday February 15th from 6pm-10pm at the River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte.
