The Record Store is a celebration of music in the form of an immersive group show. Recreating the aesthetic of a record store in the gallery, artists have filled the space with interpretations of various album covers, tour posters, portraits of musicians, and merchandise.

In honor of Creativity Explored’s 40th anniversary and the release of Art is Art, Rare Device invited a select group of CE artists to showcase drawings and sculpture work. Original artworks include popular color-block oil pastel portraits by Vincent Jackson, who has worked at CE for four decades; Nubia Ortega’s cartoon-like ceramic cars glazed with Crayola-like hues; and Gerald Wiggin’s sculpture “dude” figures who are named after imaginary and known characters. You’ll love the pops of color and whimsical nature of these artists’ work and will learn firsthand how Art is Art, no matter who makes it.
