7/11: Kolaj Meet-and-Greet in Providence, RI

Kolaj Magazine Meet and Greet at Craftland in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. Craftland started out in 2002 as an annual holiday sale, but is now a brick-and-mortar shop in downtown Providence, open seven days a week. They “celebrate all kinds of sparkly handmade objects and the people that make them.” Publisher Ric Kasini Kadour will host a meet and greet for artists, writers, curators, gallerists, and the general public who are interested in collage as a fine art medium. Kadour will speak briefly about collage as a global art medium and how Kolaj Magazine is working to document and promote collage as contemporary fine art. Collage artists are encouraged to bring a small piece to show and learn about how to get involved in the publication. Copies of the magazine’s Cut Out Page will be on hand for folks who want to make a collage and submit it to the magazine’s quarterly contest. Issues of the magazine will also be available.
