The 10 artists who have accepted the “Challenge” have had one year to develop their ideas and create art to be displayed in one of 10 sectioned-off spaces upstairs in the main gallery. Participants were tasked with using a mandatory list of 10 materials, and nothing else.
“The nine mandated materials are wooden pallets, toilet paper, wire mesh, plastic wrap, canvas, paint, plaster of Paris, a light source and any type of fasteners needed for their construction, plus an ‘artist’s choice’ of one additional type of material,” said Wailoa Center gallery director Codie King.
Wailoa Center is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday.
