There are many different definitions of "art." You can't just google "art" and expect to find a sufficient result right away. The best definition I found is "The conscious production or arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements, or other elements in a manner that affects the sense of beauty." But can you really define art? People study art every day...or rather they study artists and trends in art. But what is it really? Some debate that art cannot be defined at all. I tend to agree.
Art always begins internally. An idea, an emotion, a thought, a feeling, a mood. With the right medium and know-how, these internal stirrings eventually bubble up into something tangible. Into art. In my opinion, art can be anything from a simple macaroni necklace to an extravagant sculpture...and everything in between.
I love art, but not only that...I appreciate it. I appreciate every aspect of the process. That is why I want a wide scope of art at the Mocha Giraffe. I don't want just one style or one medium. I want it all! I hope through my appreciation and the talent of local artists, together we can fill Mocha Giraffe to the brim with art of all kinds.
I believe I have an excellent start to the art collection already at Mocha Giraffe. From paintings by Shanna Luke, barbed wire sculptures by Cydnee Scarborough, jewelry by Lori Storrs, drawings by Sandra Cassibry, to pottery by Christie Ruff and Kathy Myers, yes, we have a lot, but I would LOVE to incorporate more! I challenge all you talented folks out there to show your stuff.
Paintings, sculptures, jewelry, photography, pottery, collages...you name it, I want it. Please let me know if you're interested in putting your art in Mocha Giraffe!
