VISUAL ARTS + MUSEUMS

One Hundred Artists, One Hundred Universes.  Winter Street Studios and Change The World Through Art invite the public to the upcoming art exhibition: Parallel Universes – The Art of Quantum Physics – The Door To The Future, September 18-19, 2010.

Parallel Universes showcases a collection of one hundred of the best Houston and national artists, through the exploration of the relationship between art and quantum physics. One hundred artists collaborated to create two “Exquisite Corpse” pieces, integrating their individual art pieces into two whole works of art incorporating their ‘Parallel Universes’.

One hundred artists created one hundred universes, while pursuing the connections between art and quantum physics, as reflected in the creation of their art and envisioned as a series of paintings and photography in inter-connecting parallel planes of existence. The nature of another reality is often mysterious, known only by its effect on our own world as seen through art.

A total of 200 canvases will be exhibited at the Winter Street Gallery.

The artwork is available for sale, with 70% of the proceeds going to the artists and 20% of the sale proceeds supporting Justice For Children.Org and 10% supporting Change The World Through Art.

Artists will exhibit additional paintings at Winter Street Studios, which are also available for sale with 20% of the sales proceeds going to Justice For Children.Org and 10% of teh proceeds going to Change The World Through Art.
