Art sparks ideas, inspires individuals
and creates vision…Art opens minds and touches hearts…Art changes our world.
The 2013 Members Show – “Art for
Change” – opens on Friday, February 15 (6-9pm) at the YSAC Community Gallery
and continues through March 10. From art
activism and protest art to political commentary and personal contemplation,
these works encourage discussion, create controversy and promote change. This Opening Reception is free and open to
the public. Refreshments will be served.
During the Opening Reception, experience
the diversity and breadth of our Yellow Springs artists. Respond and connect with their art via our interactive
People’s Choice Awards activity. During
the reception, Joanne Caputo’s 2005 documentary On a Roll will be screened in the YSAC’s Multi-Arts Space. On a Roll raises awareness about people
with disabilities and has recently been re-selected for broadcast on PBS's
"True Stories.”
This February 15 Reception is also the
annual gathering of YSAC members, enabling them to elect their Board of
Trustees. Past and prospective members
can check their membership status and renew or join. Supporters of the arts in Yellow Springs should
be sure to attend and cast their ballots for community arts representation.
Can art change YOU? Come see for yourself how our artist members
harness the power of art to promote consciousness, provoke dialogue and inspire

positive change for yourself, your community and your world.
