OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, July 20, 2013 – 3-6 pm”We are happy to announce the Art Brownie ZOO 2013 exhibition will open on 20th July at Toronto’s INDEXG. Already praised by many a vibrant and inspirational project, the fourth edition of the Art Brownie exhibition brings together again a roster of artists working in different art disciplines: painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed-media and photography. Art Brownies are miniature artworks created by artists on spruce blocks, each measures 2.5 x 2.5 inch square, 1.5 inch high. This small, non-intimidating format has indeed provided fertile ground for endless exploration, resulting in many exciting and appealing work.

Considered by many one of the most open-minded art projects, the Art Brownie Project blends together high art and low art, the known and the emerging. A time for every artist and art lover to fully enjoy and appreciate the diversity of humanistic expressions. An exhibition of these works is scheduled to be held annually at INDEXG Toronto, with submissions from different parts of the world.

ZOO highlights works from two artists selected from the 2012 Art Brownie exhibition: Deborah Maris Lader (USA) and Sio (Toronto), who will show a series of ten works each revolving the theme ZOO. In addition, we have invited two artists, Kai Chan and Han Xu to create their mini series. Their approach to creating works on these blocks are surprisingly fresh and exceptional.

The Gala opening of Art Brownie ZOO 2013 will take place on July 20 (Saturday), from 3 to 6 p.m. It will continue through August 25. All Art Brownies are for purchase with prices ranging from $30 to $300. Be a proud owner of these unique art pieces, which promise to make great gifts too. Join us for a day of fun, great hunts, and lively chats…and maybe share a few yummy bites…
