Vita Art Center is excited to present its final exhibit and fundraiser for 2015, "Truly Exquisite". The exhibit features visual artists in various mediums blindly collaborating to produce works based on the surrealist concept known as The Exquisite Corpse. The artists' individual components will be become part of a larger completed figure. The final collaborative results will be revealed at the opening gala on December 4.

About Exquisite Corpse Game: 
The chance-based drawing game known as the Exquisite Corpse involved each participant creating a portion of a human figure without seeing what others had created, which resulted in fantastic distortions, juxtapositions and surreal composite figures. The technique was invented by artists and poets associated with the Surrealism Movement that was founded by Andre Breton in Europe after WWI and continued into the 1950s.

The "Truly Exquisite" art exhibit is a fund-raising group exhibition that includes both emerging and established artists creating a component of a collaborative Exquisite Corpse. The pieces will be exhibited for the month of December and sold through a silent auction at the December 4 Gala.
