J Rich Studios and Wick Monet are excited to announce the opening of “People Are Afraid of the Talent I Have,” a month long exhibition showcasing a series of collaborative paintings & sculptures between J Rich & other artists. Such artists include EXDX Art, Ajani Zanaya, Caitlin Pulizotto, Chesney Warden, Emma Shearer, Alex Kunkel, Isa Villegas, Violet Hershberger, and more. Over two dozen pieces by 20 local artists will be shown, with the opening reception of the exhibition taking place on September 6th from 7pm to 9pm.
“People Are Afraid of the Talent I Have” was created to give college level artists the opportunity to showcase their work in a space outside of the classroom setting, while embracing the collaborative nature of art and its many mediums. Curator J Rich conceptualized the exhibition as a way of collaborating with others without having both parties being in the same space at the same time. Having enjoyed working with others, both artists and non-artists alike, Rich wishes to continue the collaborative nature of this exhibition in his own work as well as future series with different local artists.
