INSPIRATION and Brush Strokes (Opening Day)

The Morro Bay Art Association proudly present, INSPIRATION. How does a work of art begin? What germinates the seed and how do we grow it? What motivates us to pick up a paintbrush or visualize a complex idea in a piece of glass? What drives us to bring something intangible – like the feelings of fear or sorrow - to that tangible place where other can experience it, too, and maybe even participate in the artist’s own creative catharsis? In the exhibit “Inspiration,” we ask artists to take us on a personal journey in what we hope to be an eclectic exhibit that is open to all platforms, mediums and ideas. In addition, Morro Bay Art Association is proud to host The Painter’s Group from San Luis Obispo, and their compelling, juried exhibit, Brushstrokes 2023. A variety of accepted mediums include acrylic, oil, mixed media, watercolor, pastel and digital, encompassing a wide range of subject matter, figurative, landscape and abstract. Inspiration and Brushstrokes 2023 will be on display from September 21, 2023 through November 6, 2023 and the opening reception is Sunday, September 24, 2023, 2-4pm.
