The <br />Collage Stop is an ongoing project during which participants are invited to make collage from scraps of local and <br />national collage artists. Our first ev ent was a craft table at the 2019 Carrboro Elf Market at the ArtsCenter in <br />Carrboro, NC. <br />Although initially intended to serve as a series of in-person participatory ev ents situated within arts and public <br />spaces, this year my collaborator, Erin McCluskey W heeler (Richmond CA), and I are offering a COVID-informed, <br />mail-art v ersion of The Collage Stop featuring scraps from Erin's Studio as well as my own practice. As always, <br />this ev ent will be offered to participants free of charge and will be open to all. <br />In October 2020, we'll begin promotion including online sign-up to receiv e a mail-art kit from The Collage Stop. <br />In mid-Nov ember I will send participants a kit that includes scraps from our studios, a stamped postcard for <br />mounting paper and printed instructions inv iting participants to make a collage then send the completed piece to <br />someone they know. The intention of this project is to affirm connection while we all continue to spend time apart <br />due to COVID. <br />Throughout this project, participants will be inv ited to share images of works in progress and completed pieces <br />on Padlet, the platform Erin uses to maintain continuity with her students while her art classes are v irtual. <br />Participants will also be inv ited to tag us on IG where we will repost images. <br />W e are also at work on a website that will launch in late September 2020. There, we will host a virtual exhibition of <br />this project to open February 14th, 2021. This exhibition will become part of The Collage Stop Archiv e. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: F44C74B7-885F-4BDA-88FE-363293FD6A8E
