555 Arts: Buddy System opening May 6, 2005

"The Buddy System" opening reception
Reception includes music by: Eliza Beatrix Godfrey, Thatshim!thatstheguy! & Chris O. of the Recital.

16 international artists exhibited at the 555 Gallery Space.

An exhibition of artists from Michigan, New York, Miami, Washington, D.C., and Paris, France. In an attempt to assemble a diverse yet familiar body of art, a core group of artists from Lansing, Michigan, have invited artists from other places to participate hand-in-hand in this event.

The buddy system alludes to educational catch phrases such as safety in numbers, cooperative learning, and peer interaction, all of which are appropriate for a group of artists who discuss, critique, and are naturally influenced by, each other's art.
