Spilt Milk! at Artstation
Visitors to Artstation’s Youth Art Committee’s (YAC) latest exhibition will be given the opportunity to buy fresh and exciting new works from over 20 emerging artists.
Artstation’s YAC have spent the last three months curating Spilt Milk!, which will be a cash and carry exhibition meaning that visitors will be able to buy and take home art works on the same day.
Spilt Milk! includes a huge range of artworks from paintings, drawings and jewellery through to objects, prints, sound art, photographs and more.
“No use crying over spilt milk - We liked the connection of this phrase to ideas around art making and the acceptance of the mistake being a contributing factor in the development of a creative process. It also connects to the experience of being young and learning not to sweat over the small stuff during a time in your life when mistakes are common,” says artist and YAC member Laura Robertson.
“Young people are making great art and it’s often difficult to find places to show it… it’s exciting to see what young artists are experimenting with and creating,” says artist and YAC curator Amy Potenger.
The exhibition’s poster, which has been designed by Sam Ovens, is a bold and crazy explosion of colour, which represents the energy and dynamism that will also be seen in the other artworks chosen to be in this show.
All works in Spilt Milk!, will be priced under $250 and can be taken upon payment. Visitors are being asked to keep coming back as artworks will be restocked regularly.
