Kalico Arts Center
I’m excited to share that I will be the guest artist at Kalico Art Centers Saturday Sessions November 14th, 2020 11-1 pm.
I will be doing a short talk on the making of my Downtown Stories sculpture project. In addition, I will invite each participant to make a tabletop version of their own to take home. It’s open to all ages, and it’s FREE.
Saturday Sessions are education-based opportunities inviting the community to meet and make with local contemporary artists.
I hope you’ll join us.
This Autumn I participated in Kalico Art Center’s “Downtown Stories” community art project. The premise was to match up local artists with local businesses. The artist would create an art installation that visually tells the story of the business and the art would be placed in the windows of the businesses. Kalico created a map for the community to come out and see the art installations and learn more about the downtown businesses in their community.
It was a wonderful experience for me. I loved getting to know the folks at Montana Modern Fine Art Gallery, (whom I was matched up with), meeting the other artists who participated, and learning more about the back story of the businesses that took part in the project.
Just wanted to take a moment to honor the collective efforts of everyone involved in our Quarantine Dreams exhibit.
I’m feeling so proud of my fellow artist friends and the incredible work they created for this show!
Also, I’m feeling so grateful to curator Jenny Bevill for leading and shaping this year-long collaboration.
Thank you to everyone who reserved a time slot and joined us in person opening night, and to the really lovely support of the community overall.
And my gratitude runs deep to Kalico Art Center, Alisha and Miche, for going above and beyond, to ensure the success of this, their inaugural exhibit. Their support and professionalism has made this such a wonderful experience!
Thank you Andrea Catherine for the wonderful group photo.
Visit the exhibit (it will be up all summer), or go to Kalicoartcenter.com to view the work, watch video interviews, and to purchase the art online.
I’m really excited to be participating in Kalico community art center inaugural exhibit this summer. If you're in Kalispell this summer, please visit this brand new community arts center on Main Street. We are very excited to welcome this new organization to the Flathead Valley!
