More than 8,000 art lovers and artists gathered at the Armonk Outdoor Art Show and many experienced the interactive booth “Create Together.” The recent event included work by 162 juried artists across every medium, with the Create Together interactive art space serving as a community art hub at the entrance of the show.
Developed by Armonk-based creative agency Create & Associates, the Create Together booth provided a live, collective art experience for all who entered. Guests of all ages were provided with colorful “leaf stickers” inspired by the Armonk Outdoor Art Show”™s brand icon to stick on the white-walled interior. The stickers transformed the 20 X 10 space into a three-dimensional impressionist art scene, alive with color and connection. The concept was inspired by the “obliteration rooms” of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.
“This year”™s show was a huge success, with an increase in attendees by 36% from the last all-time high,” said Anne Curran, executive director of the Armonk Outdoor Art Show. “We”™re grateful for the outpour of support, particularly after such a turbulent year. Art sold like crazy and there was great enthusiasm in the air.”
Cecile Rothschild, creative director of Create & Associates, felt the palpable energy over the weekend, from both talent and guests.
Established in 1961, the Outdoor Armonk Art Show unites nationally recognized juried artists with art enthusiasts from around the country.
