Liberty Arts kicks off the 2012 season with a community art project called “Anicca – 500 Hours Of Art.”
Anicca (pronounced /əˈnik ə/) is a Pali word used in Buddhism referring to the belief that all things, including the self, are impermanent and constantly changing.
For this exhibition, we will tape off the walls of the gallery, provide a diverse collection of art materials and invite the public to come in and draw, write, paint, and sketch directly on the walls.
Therefore, the community is actually creating the show, which is ever changing over the course of its three-week run (i.e. 500 hours).
Of course, once the run is over, we will repaint the walls of the gallery to prepare for the next exhibit – which is where the whole “impermanence” thing come into play.

Sorry to have missed the exciting Opening Night’s festivities. Glad I came in a few days later to paint an idea that just popped into my
mind for the occasion. Loved what all the artists painted and thanks to everyone who created everything to make this wonderful idea work!! It was a great event. Thanks also to Scott Valley Bank for their generous donation of artists materials.

Amazing! What a wonderful collection of community art in its truest sense. I am so proud of our community-Yreka up!
Speaking of bringing materials, is it okay to bring torn strips of photograph screen prints to paint/glue onto the wall?
Pam – Yes, at this point, you are allowed to bring your own materials. We look forward to seeing what you create!
Can I bring my own materials? I’d like to create an art glass mosaic if possible. Can we say “hot glue?
Hey Monica – Survey says….YES! Grab that hot glue, come on up and get your mosaicality on!
I want to paint too! Do I have to sign up for this event (Anicca)?
David – No need to sign up. Simply show up during the opening party, closing party or any time in between during gallery hours, grab a medium of your choice and have fun!
