Art at the JCC – Abstract Art Collective – ArtSEE

The Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara’s Art at the JCC presents the Abstract Art Collective 4th Annual ArtSEE fundraiser, an Abstract Art Collective (AAC) juried exhibit and additional art sale to benefit SEE International at the Bronfman Family Jewish Community Center. SEE International is a nonprofit, humanitarian organization whose volunteer eye surgeons generously work to restore sight to disadvantaged blind individuals worldwide.

ArtSEE features a 100-piece GRID WALL display of original 10” x 10” abstract artworks, created and donated by AAC members and offered for sale at $100 each on a first-come-first-choose basis. 100% of the proceeds from GRID WALL sales will be donated to SEE International.

Also on display is a juried exhibition of larger abstract works by AAC members. The juror for the exhibit is Kerry Methner Ph.D, Editor & Publisher at Community Voice: Santa Barbara. Twenty-five percent of sales from the juried pieces will be donated to benefit the JCC.

The ArtSEE exhibit includes a wide range of abstract media – painting, assemblage/collage, printmaking, photography and digital art. Abstract art encompasses as many processes as there are artists. One artist may work in an intuitive arc – not knowing how a piece will begin or end. Another may have a defined concept and their artwork is not finished until that concept is expressed to their satisfaction.
