There are many things we inherit from our families. In mine, creativity was emphasized as a core value and skillset. Growing up, I was surrounded by relatives who were all exploring different mediums. I sat wide eyed as artists, musicians, and writers sat around our family table discussing their passions. I’ve often wondered if creativity is a trait that runs in other families too. “Family Affair” is about connecting these intergenerational threads of expression. During the open call, artists are invited to submit one piece that is riffing off of something made by a relative. New original works will be displayed side by side with the work that inspired them. It is up to each artist to interpret what this means to them. It could be as abstract as a feeling or a literal as a color.
