The Blank Canvas Exhibition is an interactive experience that aims to inspire creativity and spark conversations. Large blank canvases will be on display throughout the week, allowing individuals to witness the space's "blank" beginning state and its transformation into a full gallery experience. During Creative Community Hours, patrons can add anything they want to the canvases, creating an open forum for conversation. The only caveat is that new artists are expected to express their thoughts using symbols, shapes, colors, or other means. The visual conversation will change and transform daily, so visitors are encouraged to drop by and see the new works each day. The exhibition is open for friends and families to thoroughly enjoy.
The Blank Canvas Exhibition will culminate in a celebration of all the completed works as a collective artistic accomplishment. It is expected to create lasting memories and draw the next generation of artists and creatives to a brighter future for all.
Kahli Hernandez, Artoonist, born in Brooklyn,NY, was raised in the 413 (Springfield, MA ). Growing up a number 2 pencil and computer paper were his main tools for creativity. He started using his God given talent to draw things that made him excited, consistently adding things he liked on any surface he could get his hands on (including mom's kitchen walls, tables, and chairs). The digital art space became his new playground when he discovered "Paint" on his dad's Windows 98 computer. During high school and college, he widened the door to mixed media and expanded on new ways to express himself.Like Saturday morning cartoons fused with various art styles, the media produced has a cartoonish blend of characters, bold black lines together with a touch of graffiti, vibrant playful colors , and whimsical themes. Style is not a cage he locks himself into, so the tools of choice currently are acrylic, oil, and aerosol paints. Mixed media is his infinite well of expression. "Growing up a mischievous and intelligent child, I would (literally) draw trouble my way." Fast forward to the present day he is using the same talent to promote purpose in the lives of others. His vision is to set his environment ablaze with culture, art, inspiration, and life.
