Voice and Vision Collaboration 2024
The 9th annual Voice and Vision Collaboration (VVC) pairs 14 artists and 14 writers from Airdrie and the surrounding area for a unique creative challenge. Writers begin the project with a prose or poetry piece, in any genre or style, with a 250 word limit. Artists begin the project with a piece no larger than 20" x 20", but otherwise without restriction as to medium or form. From there, partners are randomly chosen, and each participant creates a new work based on their partner's initial piece.
The end of the project will be celebrated with the VVC 2024 Show Opening on Saturday, September 21, 2024, from 6pm to 9pm at the Airdrie Public Library. This is the public's opportunity to see the artwork displayed for the first time, hear the written pieces in the author's own voice, and interact with this year's participants. Launching the same night is this year's project book, which showcases all the artwork, written pieces, and collaborator information. Everyone is welcome to attend. Please note, all pieces from the project will be on display during the month of October at the Airdrie Public Library and on the library's website.
