“Hands & Pants” is a collaborative art project by John Casey and a group of more than 180 of his artist pals and peers.​

John drew hands and/or pants in his simple pen-and-ink style on 10 x 8 inch Bristol paper. Each invited artist was given the hands and/or pants and asked to complete the figure in any way the artist saw fit. John’s intent was to create a collective storyboard using the “Hands & Pants” motif as a common recognizable character engaged in a variety of manifestations. However, the returned collaborations have gone far beyond John’s expectations in sheer artistic variety, producing an extended family of unique, individual beings, a tribe of sorts, like Bay Area artists, all sharing a creative passion, yet each unique in that endeavor.

Château d’Esquelbecq and Galerie Polaris presents Une Partie de Campagne, the launch of the annual exhibition of contemporary art in the gardens at the Château d’Esquelbecq in Esquelbecq, France. Over a weekend, 13 contemporary art galleries surround the rooms and gardens of Esquelbecq Castle. Over 40 artists represented.
