Statement

The Art of Service ran from February 1 -22, 2007

The quirky kid at your favorite coffee shop, the cute server that your friends always hit on, the crabby bartender at your nearby dive, the nurse at the clinic with the cold hands… What are these people really like, and what do they do when they aren’t at work? A remarkable number of them are artists, making their living not with art but with their service. How do their jobs affect them as artists? What do they think of their jobs, their employers, and what do they think of YOU?

In Altered Esthetics’ February exhibit The Art of Service, 20 artists examined their work, themselves, and those they serve. An eclectic display of photography, poetry and painting, The Art of Service provides a penetrating look into the service industry.
