BRMAA is sponsoring a World Collage Day Exhibit, as well as hosting “Collage Connection,” a workshop with Teri Jones. Collage describes both the technique and the resulting work of art in which pieces of paper, photographs, fabric, and other ephemera are arranged and stuck down onto a supporting surface. The term collage derives from the French term papiers collés (or découpage), used to describe techniques of pasting paper cut-outs onto various surfaces. It was first used as an artists’ technique in the early twentieth century. Collage can also include other media such as painting and drawing and can contain three-dimensional elements. World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. Initiated by Kolaj Magazine in 2018, artists and art venues are invited to hold events on that day to celebrate collage. World Collage Day is about an art medium that excels at bringing different things together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. |
