This show is exhibiting 810 selected works from over 6000 pieces created from Season 5, Project 5 where elementary students from 11 schools tried their hand at illustration by developing their own unique character. Using simple lines and shapes, they drew characters and then transferred them to fabric patches that can be traded with a friend, given to someone they love, or worn on a shirt. This project is an exercise in “less is more” and an opportunity to celebrate our weird, wonderful, and not-so-perfect selves. This project was inspired by local, Joshua Tree artist, Shari Elf. Shari is a mixed media artist, storyteller, singer, songwriter, printmaker, upcycled fashion designer, and crochet museum curator. The playful quality of her art reflects her uninhibited nature. Shari is an uncategorizable artist, who uses her art as a way to heal and to help others feel welcome. Her found-art objects and silk-screened patches share uplifting messages that are funny, joyous, and inspiring.
