12 August 2011

Once a year walk-to-art invites an artist from New York City to participate in the walk-to-art residency program. The program consists of 2 months in Naarm / Melbourne, with accommodation, studio and exhibition space provided.

In 2011 walk-to-art's artist in residence is Daniel Anderson.

Anderson's art is influenced by surrealism, cubism and futurism. Motion, energy, push and pull are constant repeated elements in his work.

After creating a new body of work whilst residing in Naarm / Melbourne, he will be exhibiting at Work Space Gallery between 20 and 26 August (the opening will be on Saturday 20 August from 2pm to 4pm).

Murray Arts and South West Arts Inc. have also supported Anderson in a recent regional tour.

The idea of the residency program is to offer a life changing experience. It is not necessarily about the work or the exhibition; it is about growing, learning and being in a new environment.

The experience will offer new ideas and possibly allow the artists to move through any blockages that may be occurring. The breakthrough may not happen until after they return home. walk-to-art provides, facilitates and "joins the dots".
