What is Mega Mega Mega? 

An idea born out of necessity.  

An idea born out of love. 

Way back in April of 2020, an eternity ago, I started an adventure. I had an art exhibit planned  and it was cancelled. I had a job and it was put on hold...many many things were cancelled  and closed down and rescheduled and just kinda left out there dangling in the uncertainty of a  pandemic and, frankly, people were dying. Things were pretty grim, right? It didn't feel good. 

So...what do we do? We look for the light. We look for the glimmer of hope. I found it where I  have always found it...art. Art heals the soul and puts the spark back into our hearts. Art has  power, an incredibly enormous power and it has had that power since cave dwellers first drew  mammoths onto the walls of their homes made of stone. It has had that power during peaceful  times and during times of war, feast or famine, art has been here and it will always be here so  long as our hearts beat and our souls yearn for beauty. 

I began to reach out to artists I admired to see if they would be interested in sharing a virtual  space. It would be a space accessible to anyone at any time from anywhere. A collection of  beautiful works from a variety of artists in an online art gallery.  

That was my pitch and many artists said yes. Then, many lovers of art said yes as well. We  started to find homes for the art. The art left the studios and travelled across the country to  hang in someone's kitchen, dining room, or bedroom. A beautiful thing was happening. We  were sharing beauty and love and creativity and things started to feel good again. 

That was the idea and I am incredibly happy to say it is working. We are now a collection of  10+ artists and we are still adding more. I am amazed by each and every one of these souls  and the work they create. They each have their perspectives and viewpoints from where their  works originate and I am grateful that Mega Mega Mega gets to be some sort of gathering  space for their art.  

This exhibition is Mega Mega Mega's first step outside of the "virtual world" and into the "real  world". Please enjoy.
