More about Creating Rainbows:
In its simplest description, a rainbow is 'a multicoloured arc that forms in the sky.'
The rainbow motif offers Bedford Day Options artists so much scope to explore creatively, both practically and metaphorically, with the use of colour, blending, elevation, shape and form. The rainbow evokes ideas of magic, reward, renewal - and perhaps a sense of yearning... rainbows are always just out of reach.
Imagined by artists with disability, Creating Rainbows celebrates the diversity and the unique stories of contributors from Bedford's Day Options. Creating Rainbows offers the opportunity to creatively express thoughts, feelings, goals or hopes through a variety of artistic media. It may be painting, drawing, sculpting, or using elements from the natural environment. Each piece is made with pride and the unique interpretation of the artist.
Importantly, this is an opportunity for Bedford's artists to stage exhibitions, sell their beautiful creations and, best of all, earn their own commissions.
The Creating Rainbows exhibition will be launched at multiple locations on 1st August 2024. Additionally, everyone will be able enjoy and purchase the 2024 SALA entries through the online gallery to be launched soon.
