The pieces included in this exhibition feature archetypes, and were made by participants in the 2021 online program.
Every year our community studies archetypes as they relate to creative process, along with tutorials on art practices. This year we focussed on the development of a personal series of works. Not everyone chose to work with archetypes, but sixty-nine artists submitted work for inclusion in this show. Some artists worked specifically with the theme of an archetype every month, while others worked with the help of a personal archetype as a piece evolved.
I am delighted to share these wonderful pieces with you, and I applaud the artists who rose to the challenge to submit their work.
Watch the virtual reception here.

Reviewing the entries submitted for this members' online exhibition has been a thrilling time for Wayne and me.
Our offices are next door to each other and it hasn’t been unusual for Wayne to start the day by calling out to me, “You’ve got to come and see this!”. One piece after another surprised and delighted us! And it was stunning to realize that this year’s exhibition has almost doubled over the size of our first exhibition in 2020.
The diversity of our community was always understood but never quantified until last year’s inaugural exhibition. As was true then, this year we have tangible evidence of the many distinctive talents of participants, including quilting and stitching, along with the use of clay, and all varieties of mixed media and drawing.

I’m pleased to present the Creative Strength Training 2020 Members Exhibition and Inspired by the Archetypes exhibition.
My ten-month course encourages participants to discover the creative opportunities that exist all around us every day. Through a combination of essays and video tutorials we study composition, working in a series and what it means to be an artist. This exhibition is our first online endeavor. Eighty course participants submitted images for the democratic open call. In this catalogue you will be delighted by art quilts, mixed media textiles, collage, graphite and pan pastel drawings and even woodworking. Many of the pieces are available for sale. If you find something you love, contact the artist directly to arrange purchase.
