Crafters, wine bottle label designers, ceramics enthusiasts, wig-makers, jewelry designers, tattoo artists and other talented creative entrepreneurs who seldom get the chance to exhibit their work were showcased at ArtServe’s exhibit “Ready-Made: Celebrating Business, Art and Community” that opened with a free, public reception featuring music, food, cocktails and opportunities to meet the exhibiting artists.
“After seeing Ready-Made, your everyday experiences will come with a fresh perspective on the knowledge that an artist has created virtually everything with which we interact each day,” ArtServe CEO Jason Hughes explained. “For example, even a trip to the grocery store entails visual artwork on so many levels—the colorful displays, the food packaging, the coupons and even the fresh sushi at the seafood counter have one thing in common—they were all created by artists.”
Ready-Made was opened to local artists of all genres with one caveat: exhibited artwork is not perishable! Made possible by a grant from The Community Foundation of Broward, the exhibit runs through Friday, September 6 and is also free to attend.
