Resilience: the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. (Merriam-Webster)

The focus of the exhibition is resiliency, with the symbol of the heart.

• What is the heart of resilience for you?
• What does resilience mean to you?
• What is the key ingredient of resilience for you?
• What do you think it requires?
• What makes you resilient?
• How are your cultivating resiliency during the time of COVID-19?
• How are you staying resilient during this uncertain time?

All pieces should have a heart included in the work in some way or form. It can be any size or any part of the piece of work.

FUNDRAISING for VASHON NON-PROFITS and ARTISTS
This exhibit’s focus is to support Vashon non-profits and artists. 80% of the sales proceeds will be split 50/50% between Artist and a Vashon non-profit. The buyer of the art will select the non-profit that is the beneficiary of the item they purchase. The remaining 20% of the sale is applied to VCA online gallery operating expenses and credit card fees.
