Local artists invited to join art
show with international contacts
An International art show at
Columbia Center invites all lo
cal artists to join the program.
Called the “Global Art Pro
ject,” the show seeks artwork
that expresses visions of glob
al unity. The works will be ex
changed with participants from
around the world.
The works will be displayed
in April in galleries around the
world. Participants must regis
ter immediately, however, be
cause applications must be
postmarked by February 21.
Registration forms are avail
able at Columbia Center. A $25
registration fee is required.
The Global Art Project is a
grassroots effort that focuses
on the value of the arts as a
pathway to understand the
world as it is and how it might
be. It connects people of di
verse cultural backgrounds,
provides exposure to new
ideas and creates a feeling of
connection to the whole world.
Each registered participant
will be matched with a partici
pant in another part of the
world. Artists have until April 1
to complete their projects. Lo
cal works will be shown April 1 -
22 at Columbia Center.
Each artist then sends their
work to the artist they had been
matched with, and will receive
that artist’s piece. Columbia
Center will then display those
works. The art sent to the as
signed partner will not be re
turned, but becomes a gift of
global friendship.
“The Art Committee is really
looking forward to participating
in the Global Art Project,” said
Maeona Urban, chair of the
committee. “We were surprised
that the registration deadline is
this month, but we hope that
many of our artists will decide
to participate.”

Barbara Peschiera, executive
director of Columbia Founda
tion, at 397-1139 or by e-mail
