Artist Collaboration with Mentally Challenged

I am participating in a collaboration between artists and the mentally handicapped in which each participant creates "50%" (ish) of a piece and then hands it over to their counterpart for completion. I completed my first half for submission tonight and will receive my buddy's half-completed piece next week.

This is such an interesting project for me because it requires the artists to stifle their egos and allow some one with a unique vision have a voice on the same page or canvas; these folks are using art as a way to express themselves just as we are.

Anyway, here's the first half of mine. It's modest and simple but I like the idea of my partner imagining what they'd like to put on/around the tv screen. Apologies for the low grade camera photo.


I'll post the "After" picture as well as details for the opening, which I believe will be in April at the Magic Garden.
