New Berlin gallery attracts artists from across the globe
NEW BERLIN – After a year of planning, renowned artists returned to New Berlin for the "Made in Paint" art show opening weekend Saturday, and spoke about the Golden Foundation and their work.
The opening weekend event was held in the Golden Artists Color's headquarters and was attended by guests who traveled from near and far to support the non-profit Sam and Adele Golden Foundation, speak to artists, and experience the gallery's art.
Award winning residency artist Joey Slaughter praised the Golden Foundation residency program at the event and encouraged those interested in creating art to apply for its residency program, regardless of their potential insecurities.
"A lot of people are worried that they're not producing good artwork," he said. "However, at the end of the day people who both like and dislike certain pieces are observing it with their experiences and emotions filling in the lines."
Slaughter said it's pointless to try and make art everyone will like, and instead recommended that artists focus on creating things based on what they're passionate about.
He explained what motivated him to create the "Either way I am with you at this moment" acrylic paint skin and panel piece. "I wonder[ed] how a simple conversation is absorbed between people, how they're connected, and what the conversational wavelengths would look like.
"I imagine it's somewhat chaotic, yet beautiful," he said. "My work is purposefully busy in reference to the busy-ness in our lives."
Slaughter said that the residency program is a wonderful way to experiment with different forms of art, and overall an incredibly valuable experience.
A fellow residency artist and studio owner Ira Mitchell-Kirk agreed with Slaughter and said, "This is a wonderful program and event, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to take part in it."
Mitchell-Kirk explained that she lives in New Zealand, and was somewhat surprised when she was chosen to take part in the residency program.
"A gifted artist who is a friend of mine applied for the program at the same time I did, and she was denied," she said. "But my time spent at the Golden's residence hall has been incredibly valuable, and I'd recommend anyone interested in art to apply for the residency program."
The gallery at Golden Artist Colors in New Berlin is open until July 27, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Golden Foundation accepts residency applications starting on April 15 directly on their website www.goldenfoundation.org.
