Hickory – Full Circle Arts’ latest exhibition/competition “Sticky Creations” is open to the public through Saturday, May 29 in the gallery and on the FCA website.
All of the art in this show is made of tape. According to FCA president Ellen Schwarzbek, “It was great fun figuring out how to use this unusual medium. The artists came up with an amazing variety of sculptures and wall art. People should at least see the Little Black Dress (a wearable, we’re told). ” Even the ribbons that were awarded are made of tape by FCA member Alison Willard.
Full Circle Arts appreciates the support of Shurtape Technologies for providing much of the tape and items for merchant awards.
