The Giant Paint Brush Project provides a unique way for people to create a work of art and will become an attraction of ClearWater Arts Center and Studios in Concord, NC. This will allow guests to create art using a novel technique without the burden of a ‘right way’ or ‘wrong way’ and enable people to explore their own creative power. The result is an immersive art experience designed to remove barriers that prevent some people from creating a work of art. Fine motor skills are not necessary, and body motions can easily be incorporated into the painting process, allowing for new opportunities for inclusion in the arts. ClearWater Arts is a perfect venue in which to debut The Giant Paint Brush Project and regularly creates exciting opportunities for the Concord and Cabarrus County community to immerse themselves in art.
