"Variations" is a group exhibit by ARTDOGS studio artists Karen Adrienne, Ian Blethen, John Carnes, Kerstin Gilg, Sarah Miller and Scott Minzy.

The "Variations" exhibit investigates the ways in which six artists viewed and responded to six undisclosed objects that were selected and then exchanged.

The chosen objects were viewed by each artist for two weeks at a time and then passed to another artist for the same amount of time. The artists could respond in any medium and in any way that inspired them.

The inspirational results of this artistic contemplation can be seen at the Circling the Square Fine Art Press Gallery, Gardiner, from July 11 to August 2.

There will be an artist reception from 4:00 to 5:30pm on July 11, where everyone is welcome to attend and to meet the artists involved in this exciting exhibition.
