The Fresh Produce Art Collective is a group of artists devoted to the continuing creation and exhibition of new work. Our openly constructed collective is comprised of progressive, motivated and ambitious artists that meet weekly to plan new art projects, shows and parties as well as share ideas on technique and process. In addition to showing work, the collective aims to create a community of artists that can learn from and work with each other. It is the philosophy of the collective that  a strong art scene is a direct result of strong ties between a community of artists. Although we take a collective approach in the development of ideas and shows we take a distinctly individualistic approach to our own art making. From painting to printing, photography to sculpture, members of Fresh Produce work in a variety of different mediums and subject matter. What ensues is a visual feast. Our salon style shows become conversations between influences and styles. Collectively our medium is culture. Through the creation of original "Art Tries" (events, happenings or parties) the collective harmonizes their their individual voices to sing collectively in creating original and distinctly Fresh Produce "avants". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
