In a world where art often appeals only to the eye, and not the emotions, artist Brittany Scott, a mother of six boys and the founder of the 501c3 non-profit Inspired Arts League, wants art to move people deeply. Her mission? Bring back emotion-based storytelling in art by debuting the work created by 13 artists at their Inaugural Art Exhibition at the NYC Salmagundi Club, October 14-25, 2024.
Over the past three years, Brittany dedicated herself to this vision, bringing in top experts to guide 13 artists in mastering emotion-based storytelling. In the first year, narrative-based training expert, Sarah Lagrotteria taught artists how to reverse-engineer emotions, crafting works that evoke deep feelings by stretching the tension in their story. The following year, Bill Perkins, former Director of Visual Development at Marvel, shared his expertise on the power of visual storytelling, as seen in Disney’s The Little Mermaid.
Now, after years of learning and collaboration, these artists have come together to create their own seminal works of art to embody what they’ve been working to learn. These transcendent works will be revealed at the Historic Salmagundi Club.
“It has been astounding to me to see how collectors are responding to it, and how these paintings created with intention are impacting their viewers. We really are bringing hope to the world through art and I’m just so humbled and grateful I get to be a part of it and witness it all unfold firsthand.”
Although the exhibition runs for two weeks, you can join the artists on October 16, 17 & 18, from 6-9 pm for three unprecedented artist receptions that are more than just an exhibit—they’re a journey into the future of representational fine art, where storytelling and emotion are at the core of every piece. Brittany’s vision is about reigniting the true purpose of art: to move, inspire, and transform the viewer.
