The 7 Works Collective Artists had plans in 2020 to travel to Toronto Island for an Artists' Residency. But, as often happened in 2020, well laid plans were derailed due to the COVID pandemic. Unable to attend the Artists' Residency in person, the seven artists did their best to adapt to the situation and made plans to regularly "meet" virtually to see what we were all working on. It was during one of these meetings the plan was hatched to challenge each other to biweekly art prompts. Each artist would show a work of art in their medium and the remaining 6 artists would create a piece in their own medium based on the visual prompt. This website will show you the original art and each artists' response in their own voice.

COMMENTARY
“Congratulations to this diverse and talented group of artists who have created a community out of a period of social isolation. The connection of friendship and mutual admiration is evident in their collaboration on the various “challenges” they have created from.
In the face of our global challenges it is inspiring to see a wholehearted expression of optimism and friendship. These works imbue the beauty of community and creative expression.”
