"Most of what gallery visitors see is the final curated finished pieces in a clean well lit room. Carpe Diem gives visitors the opportunity to view the entire process from blank canvas to completion. The idea behind the show is that each piece is created at the gallery by the artists in 24 hours. The gallery chose a date and each artist was given a 4ft x 8ft panel and a 24 hour window in which to make their pieces. This year it started at 8am March 29th and finished at 8am on March 30th. The gallery was open to the public the entire time. There was a lot of interaction, not only between the artists, but also between the public and the artists. This is the second year lOAKal has done this show and we plan on continuing and growing it." - Eddie Colla
