War
& Peace at Core New Art Space
After
the tragic events of September 11th, Core member artists Kathee
Kiehn and Suzy Johnson and myself decided to forego our
yearly Core show and open the doors to others as an artistic outlet
for their collective pain, anger, hope and vision around the themes
of War & Peace. This unjuried art show and event was open to all
artists and all artistic mediums.
The show
opened on Friday, November 16, 2001 at Core
New Art Space in lower downtown Denver with 79 artists represented
by over 120 pieces of art in all media. The event was well attended
and the tribal trance band Project
Saffire donated their talents to entertain the crowd.
$700 was
raised for the 
September
11th Fund. First Place award went to Marko Marino for his untitled
oil painting portraying two fighting tigers, and Best of Show went
to Janelle Pietrzak and friends for their untitled mixed media
altar. The Soul2Soul Award went to Tanya Vallianos for her
healing oil painting titled "The Source".
At the
time of the show, many artists expressed their desire to continue
this show online with a virtual gallery and message board for ongoing
communication. This website is the result of those wonderful artist's
efforts. I apologize for the poor quality of some of the images and
the loss of some information... I would appreciate any artist's involved
to fill in the details for me where needed or inform me of any corrections.
I also regret that not all artists and artworks are represented, only
a small fraction could be included here. If you are one of the artists
in the show and would like a link to your website or would like your
email address posted along with your artwork, please contact me.
I'm thrilled
to finally share these poignant works of art with the world on this
first anniversary of the tragic event, and I sincerely thank all the
artists involved for participating in this celebration of healing
and memorial to peace.
Blessings
of peace, love & light,
Harusami
