The notion of collecting, to me, embodies the essence of a life’s journey filled with creative objects made by friends, acquaintances, and strangers, providing me with a source of energy and inspiration every day. For me, it is also about activating it (the collection) for the common good. - Herman J. Milligan, Jr. Ph.D.
This exhibition offers an insight into the relationships forged between collectors and artists, presenting a sampling of artwork that inspired these art lovers to find a space in their homes where they could live with the work daily.
This exhibition is made possible by the collectors and wall sponsors who have invested in artists and SooVAC. The collectors can feature whatever they want to share or promote. This year, some collectors decided to invite individuals just starting their journey as collectors, present new works of artists in their collection, or share objects and techniques that inspire them, from contemporary to vintage. Collecting comes in many different flavors, but the common denominator is celebrating things that bring a spark to their lives.
