For the Love of Collage is a group exhibition in celebration of World Collage Day, curated by artists Marcy McChesney and Vikky Jones of over 15 San Antonio artists, chosen for their originality and vibrancy in the medium of collage and mixed media. We aim to celebrate the medium of collage while illustrating the variety of results, stretching the public’s understanding and appreciation of collage as a valid and important art-form in the 21st century.
World Collage Day is an annual, international celebration of collage on the Second Saturday of May. Initiated by Ric Kasini Kadour, the editor of Kolaj Magazine in 2018, the day is for artists to connect across borders against a global context of entrenchment and separation using an art medium that excels at bringing different images and materials together to create new forms and new ways of thinking. World Collage Day is to honor the community of collage artists and to remind the world what a spirit of cooperation, mutual support, and creativity can look like.
