Viva Art Action du 17 au 26 septembre à SKOL

Finissez ce que vous avez commencé.
 
Les friperies sont remplies de projets du dimanche inachevés et de vestiges de loisirs abandonnés tels que le crochet, le point de croix, la couture, la dentelle, la peinture, la courtepointe, la fabrication de maquette, le travail du bois, etc. Jennifer pense que vous devriez terminer ce que vous avez commencé. Bien qu’elle ne connaisse pas ces arts (pour lesquels elle n’est probablement pas vraiment douée), elle achètera 10 projets inachevés, en apprendra les différentes techniques, terminera les œuvres comme bon lui semble, consignera le tout et les redonnera au magasin. Elle va finir ce que vous avez commencé. (trad. Laura Bonney). Ce projet est rendu possible avec l'appui du programme de création ArtsNB.
 


Finish What You Started.

Second hand stores are filled with unfinished Sunday projects and remnants of abandoned hobbies in mediums such as: crochet, cross-stitch, knitting, needlepoint, painting, quilting, model making, woodworking etc…. Jennifer thinks you should finish what you started. Although she is unfamiliar with these arts (and possibly not very skillful), she will purchase 10 different unfinished projects, learn the new techniques, complete the pieces as she sees fit, document and return them to the store. She is going to finish what you started. This project was made possible through an ArtsNB creation grant.
