Dominican Center at Marywood Art Gallery is displaying the works of the Heartside Gallery Artists through the month of August. Most of the several works are available for purchase.
An off shoot of the Heartside Ministry of Grand Rapids, the Heartside Galley & Studio began in 1993. Since its inception, the program has expanded to include enough physical space to create, exhibit, and sell in a supportive environment.
Heartside artists come with a history of tough times that tell a story through their art. Art often absorbs more depth and feeling when created by artists who have seen difficult times--it appears that this group of crafts people put their hearts and souls into their work. Some beautiful and innovative styles, you will enjoy the variety displayed in this exhibit, where you will see the works of 25 different persons. It is seldom that one can view the work of so many in one place.
Heartside Gallery says, "Artists in our studio come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Some have experienced the hardships of homelessness, while others live with various emotional, physical or mental disabilities. Many are people from the Heartside neighborhood who simply wish to share their talents and expertise with their neighbors."
Art is a valuable outlet for self-expression and creativity. Many Heartside Gallery and Studio artists have never experienced formal training, yet the artwork in our studio shows that talent often comes naturally and intuitively.The show includes many mediums including; pastels, oils, photography, pottery, watercolors, fiber arts, acrylics & pencil.
