The Enduring Art Of The Tattoo: Exhibit Opening | Mission Dist.

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Creativity Explored artists explore the aesthetic qualities of tattoo art and the symbolism associated with these ubiquitous historical and modern-day skin decorations in an upcoming group exhibition entitled INK.

INK examines the many forms of tattoos, from traditional designs of hearts, ships, and anchors, to elaborate almost delicate illustrations; from intricate Japanese-inspired full-color images of tigers, koi fish, and cherry blossoms, to scripted messages of love, loyalty, and in memoriam. Some of the two-dozen artworks depict the tattoos of more ancient markings while others spotlight today’s mainstream practice of more decorative body ornamentation. Artwork media in INK include watercolor, pastel, acrylic, pen and ink, paper, cardboard, and clay.

Opening reception: Thursday, June 19, 7 – 9 pm
Exhibit dates: June 19 – August 6, 2014

Gallery hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 am – 3 pm; Thursday 10 am – 7 pm; Saturday and Sunday, noon – 5 pm

Creativity Explored advances the value and diversity of artistic expression. They provide artists with developmental disabilities the means to create, exhibit, and sell their art in their studios and gallery, and around the world.
