*Public Service Announcement*

*FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*
Innate Worlds: Introduction to the Art of Assemblage, a workshop with
visiting artist Amy Sallenbach.

*Sunday May 5th, 10am-3:30pm, Caetani Studio Gallery, $95*

Imagine taking all of your treasured objects – those mementos and coins and
ticket stubs and found treasures – all the things you’ve got floating
around in junk drawers and pockets and boxes, and putting them together
into a gorgeous visually appealing piece of art.

>From giant sculptures to delicate shrines, this is the art of assemblage,
and the Caetani Centre’s visiting artist (and pilot) Amy Sallenbach is
teaching an introduction in to the fascinating worlds of Assemblage.

“I’ll introduce you to important assemblage artists of the 20th and 21st
centuries, we’ll explore examples to inspire you and we’ll discuss the
techniques that make it all come together.”

After looking at the many sources of materials and approaches to
construction, Amy will get you right into the art of assembling
compositions, from anything and everything you bring to the table,
literally.

This workshop is an excellent opportunity to collect up and repurpose all
those intriguing bits and fascinating keepsakes we can’t help but collect
but may not have any idea what to do with, *suitable for all levels.*

*Amy Sallenbach** is a multi disciplinary artist and pilot who has
purposefully left the constraints of gravity behind, one way or another.*

Raised in Southern Alberta, she graduated with from the Alberta College of
Art and Design in 2001, narrowly escaping attending her own final
graduating jury critique by going in to labor immediately after installing
it, thereby earning her the honorable distinction of 2nd best excuse to get
out of your final critique (1st place went to contracting flesh eating
disease in case you’re wondering).

She has exhibited throughout Western Canada and in private collections
coast to coast.
