In tribute to the late art critic Arlene Raven (1944-2006), eight artistsElaine Angelopoulos, Donna Maria de Creeft, Janet Goldner, Amanda Guest, Judy Hoffman, Kerry Kehoe, Julie McConnell, and Joanne Ungarhave collaborated to create a multimedia art exhibition to celebrate her life and legacy. Over a decade ago, these artists met more in Ravens writing workshops, called Writing for Artists, to develop writing skills to express their artistic concepts and processes. Sustaining Vision refers to Ravens emphasis on promoting ones creativity and nurturing itrespecting it as it might evolve, develop, or change. The artists came to trust themselves as they learned to trust each other using this approach. The work shown here encompasses many media, but all share some interesting convergences, making for a cohesive whole.
