The human urge to innovate is the subject of numerous essays, books, scientific articles, and theses. The title of the exhibition is derived from Arthur Koestler’s 1964 book, “The Act of Creation” in which the author explored the processes of discovery, invention, imagination, and creativity in humor, science and the arts. Similarly, the curators of the present exhibition look to create a visual study on the creation and creating by exploring all aspects of the act and art of making/creating, starting from the individuals as creators through the creative processes to the final results.

It Takes a Village

The PAC Sketch Club was created for the purpose of getting people together to discover the value of sketching. Sketching itself is its own art form, sketching helps artists “see” better and enhances drawing skills. Sketching is also a fun way of recording the world around us much more intimately than a camera.

A special thank you to our EPU Festival Lead sponsors….

Some Assembly Required
Curated by John Cino

Reception: Saturday, May 5, from 5:00 – 7:00 PM

Some Assembly Required examines the art of collage and assemblage.

The artists of Some Assembly Required present a modern face on what is now a century old tradition. Drawn from the metropolitan region the artists in Some Assembly Required work in two- and three- dimensional media to confront contemporary issues or simply lighten our hearts. Artists included in Some Assembly Required are William Aquino, Jon Boyer, Ramona Candy, Elizabeth Castaldo, Eileen Winter Palmer, Elena Soterakis and Dwight Trujillo.
