This Sunday, September 25, the Rockaway Artists Alliance hosts an opening reception of dazzling artwork and exhilarating performances to welcome ARTSPLASH 2005, a grand multimedia exhibition of 121 works by forty-seven unique artists from across the city and across the country. Weaving together their best work in sculpture, photography, digital imaging, painting, watercolor, collage, construction, video, poetry and literature they create one eye opening show that rivals the fall in color and imagination.
“It’s very exciting to be a part of this really big exhibition,” said one artist. “The work is so striking, beautiful or thought provoking, it just pulls you in. And the performing talent at the opening is just phenomenal. Personally I can’t wait!”
The opening celebration will feature music, dance, spoken word performances, and a few surprises, on the outdoor stage of the Rockaway Center for the Arts (RoCA) galleries at Fort Tilden, Queens. Refreshments will be served and many of the artists will be on hand.
ARTSPLASH 2005, a juried exhibition, runs through Sunday October 16. Other events and performances will be scheduled through the run of the show. The Rockaway Artists Alliance invites all to come and have a personal experience with the arts.
