Art Doesn’t Have to Match Your Sofa, Volumes 1-3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Volume 1 features collages by Kelly Schaub. Volumes 2 and 3 were the result of a call to artists from Schaub’s Collage-Lab project in June 2020. The response was overwhelming. Volume 2 features twenty-six international collage artists. Volume 3 features twenty-six artists from the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Schaub says about the project: Why Art Doesn\u2019t Have to Match Your Sofa<\/em>? The serious reason is to get society to recognize the value of original art, and especially artists in their community. I\u2019m always disappointed when someone says they love art, yet their home is filled with mass-produced d\u00e9cor from a bigbox store. Often, for the same price tag, they could own original art, instead of factory made copies. And, if they sought out local artists, in their own geographic region, they could establish a meaningful relationship, which would only add to the intrinsic value of the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three volumes of Art Doesn’t Have to Match Your Sofa<\/em> are available in paperback and Kindle format. The full-color books feature original collage art, alongside a graphically designed \u201csofa\u201d of the art. Each paperback measures 8.5\u201d x 8.5\u201d and features 26 original collages and 26 sofas, along with artist information and descriptive text. The 60-page books are available through Schaub’s everydaypaper site and retail for $20 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Schaub is a collage maker by day, so she loves vintage ephemera,
and uses it in her work quite often. Her Collage-Lab<\/a> project, launched in 2020, is a resource for collage makers, and has grown to include a variety of online collage classes, along with hosting monthly Collage Play Dates, Calls for Artists, and other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
