"6 Sides 2 Every Story"
I am currently participating in the “6 Sides 2 Every Story” art collaboration organized by Candace Nicol.
This project is funded by grants from the Nevada Arts Council, and Sierra Arts Foundation.
Candace introduces the project by saying, "As humans, we have the incredible ability to perceive the same events as completely different happenings. This collaboration project will give consideration to these individual points of view."
"Participants are asked to illustrate their own individual perspectives by carving one side of a wooden cube. Each cube will represent one current issue found in a national/international article, internet posting, or magazine. This project will expand across the United States, starting with 100 (2"x2"x2") cubes, 600 participants."
The theme for my cube, begun by ceramic and metal artist Sue Roberts, is "Earth Day: "We have met the enemy and HE is US." The participants of this cube are as follows:

The art galleries at WNC are located in the Bristlecone Building and are open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
