GATHERINGS

AN ART AND POETRy BASED PROJECT

September 1- September 14, 2020

PRG is partnering with Lynda Lowe and Gail Severn Gallery in a collaborative project that will raise funds to support creatives in our community affected by the global pandemic. The project, initiated by Lynda Lowe, begins with 54 professional artists and 54 poets asked to contribute original work. Artists create their art on handcrafted wooden boxes. Poets write poetry for inclusion inside the boxes. The Gatherings boxes then begin to travel as each artist chooses a person to give the box to. The recipient keeps it for up to three weeks and participates by adding something inside the box that speaks to their experience during the  pandemic: narrative writing, commentary, a poem, artwork, a meaningful object. That person then chooses the next recipient, and so on in a sequence of giving and receiving. The collection gathers until boxes and their contents return in September, 2020 for exhibition and sale at PRG and Gail Severn Gallery in Sun Valley, ID. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to not-for-profit arts organizations who have established relief funds for the arts.

For more information and a list of the 54 participating artists and poets, please visit the Gatherings website. 

Boxes are currently for sale through the Gatherings website.
