Stay Inspired, December 10, 2020 - January 30, 2021
Dolby Chadwick Gallery, San Francisco
Stay Inspired is the outcome of a project of the same name, which initially began as a single email, sent in mid-March, when the Shelter in Place order was announced in response to the pandemic. Lisa Dolby Chadwick paired together two of the things she loves most—a painting and a poem. This initial gesture ultimately grew to include eighty-eight editions, sent out over the course of seven months. This exhibition features work by each of the Dolby Chadwick Gallery artists who were paired as part of the Stay Inspired series.
While the poetry pairings will not be integrated into the exhibition itself, they do appear in a fully illustrated hardcover coffee-table book titled Stay Inspired: Shelter in Place 2020, published on the occasion of the show. For each book sold through January 30, 2021, 50% of the sales price will be donated to No Kid Hungry, which has been doing important work to feed families most in need during these trying times.
You can purchase your copy here.
