In the year 1517, clergyman Martin Luther posted his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. This document was a list of theological issues he had with the prescribed teachings of the Church of Rome, beginning what has come to be known as the Protestant Reformation. To commemorate the 500th anniversary of this event, an international exhibition in honor of Martin Luther is being hosted in Germany.

An international art exhibit will be presented at Palangkaraya, Indonesia which is on the island commonly known as Borneo. The city name Palangkaraya, translates from the local language into English as a "vast sacred site" and furthermore informs the theme of this exhibition, which is "Storytelling".

The exhibit will travel to 3 different venues throughout the region during the summer of 2017. The venues are: Studio Kurik Art Gallery, Kopihan Coffee House & Art Gallery and Rahan Untung (The Floating Cafe).

Exhibition Calendar: July thru September 2017.

International Collage Exhibition - Ukraine

This international collage exhibit is hosted by a small independent non-commercial gallery in Lviv, Ukraine. I first discovered this gallery a couple of years ago when an associate artist was involved in one of their exhibits. The curator has converted a garage into a small exhibition space where "underground" exhibits are presented to a small but faithful audience who appreciate art that may otherwise not be shown in the area. While the western Ukrainian city of Lviv has a population of over 3/4 of a million, apparently there are very few venues that regularly present more adventurous contemporary art, therefore, the Tymutopiyapres Gallery was formed to fill this void. 

It is inspirational and refreshing to know that there are lovers of art throughout the world who are finding ways to share their passion by establishing independent galleries or who volunteer their services to curate exhibitions in public venues. I decided to show my support for this independent gallery and their adventurous spirit by creating a small artwork for their International Collage Exhibition. (In light of the current turmoil in Ukraine, it seemed even more vital to remind the Ukrainian people through art, that we are aware of their plight and offer our encouragement.)
