In 2010 Millard Sheets Center for the Arts will present The Industrial Age to the Computer Age…Three Centuries of Artistic Innovations. The exhibit will start with the Industrial Revolution which mechanized art and industry and changed the world forever. You will journey with us as we re-visit the machines that sprang to life, and the advancements in technology which joined together to create life-changing methods and products. Art and ingenuity worked hand in hand with these new technologies sending the artists on new and exciting adventures. Witness the development of refined production and new products such as stainless steel, titanium, plastics, synthetic fibers and acrylics. Motorized equipment, simplified travel and advancements in communication became the norm. Artists have not only benefited from these developments of the past 300 plus years, they have also been among the leaders in discovery and utilization of materials and methods which changed industry. Only here will you see firsthand how the art of the past 300 years has evolved into the artist’s palette of today. With the exhibits modern look and displays in motion to capture the spirit of more contemporary times it will capitalize on the juxtaposition of scale and energy output from the enormous steam engines to the tiny computer chips which, each in their own ways led to the creation of new art forms. With hands-on workshops, a storyteller and demonstrations to complete this exhibit, art through the ages will come alive this year at the L.A. County Fair!
