Welcome
to Collage Town where we celebrate the art of collage and photomontage
-- traditional and digital. The site is constantly developing with
exhibits of the finest collage artists working today, information
on the history of collage, techniques and a look at classic collage
art.
What is Collage?
Collage is an art form in which
the artist creates or takes a number of items and places them
together within the boundaries of paper, frame or screen. The
goal is to craft a message or feeling by the very patterns, content
and often unexpected interaction. more.
Photomontage
Photomontage, like collage, attempts
to convince us that a certain world might actually exist in which
the familiar objects and words around us are somehow transformed
and live together in ways we can see only through the work of
the artist. Although found objects are often used in enhancing
the art, photography is a significant factor in this medium.

Collage
Town is a celebration of both Collage and Photomontage, forms
of art and vision that have been infused with life with the advent
of electronic graphic editing and the Internet.
The site offers up an extensive
showing of the work of Brian Robertson, but CollageTown both actively
solicits and displays other artists who deserve to have their
efforts recognized and appreciated.
For more information, contact
us! Please do not send images or attachments unless solicited.
In addition, you'll note CollageTown
is the home of the Collage WebRing. The best collage sites on
the web are featured, so once you've seen this site, simply scroll

"The
imagination, therefore, can create in a dream -- in
the sense of producing visions not seen before.
Admittedly,
these visions are formed by materials already contained
in the dreamer's memory, but they are formed like the
fortuitous combinations of pieces of glass in a kaleidoscope..."
....The
Marquis de Saint-Denys, 1867
