ARTSPARK
a+a Studio was commissioned by the Arts and Business Alliance of Eugene to create a Narrative Collage that celebrates a successful arts program, ArtSpark Eugene, in the 4J School District in Eugene, Oregon. To celebrate ArtSpark, our Narrative Collage includes several images of school children, a map of the 4J school region with 20 ArtSpark logos (flowers) that highlight the location of each 4J elementary school, and a small portion of a school mural that was painted by children. In addition to other symbolic imagery in this Narrative Collage, artist Dee Etzwiler incorporated playful lines and brush strokes to offer a youthful look to the piece. This artwork was printed on fine art paper using pigment inks and measure 20” x 16” (24” x 20” framed).
“Dee is committed to a collaborative and intentional process and created a piece that so beautifully represents our work. We proudly display it in our office and will tell our story throughout the years to come.” LIORA SPONKO, Executive Director, Lane Arts Council
