OPEN STUDIO SATURDAY

All of our artists will be in their studios with the doors open from 11 AM to 6 PM for Open Studio Saturday on October 8.  Doing what? Keep reading...

Levine Museum Artist-in-Residence, Shelia Turner will be working on identifying and describing "New Courage" through photographs recorded from the projected landscape of the television.

Felicia van Bork will be making 11" x 11" collages out of torn-up monotype prints which have self-help titles, like "How to Swim like a Salmon."

In addition to her 1 PM Gallery Talk, Carrie Becker will be making fabric pods for her next installation.

If you met Knight Artist-in-Residence Susan Lee Chun at Open Studio last month, you saw a two-headed bald eagle sculpture in the process of being bedazzled with tiny gold glass seed beads...well she's still at it. So, come and cheer her on! (She has also started on a couple other pieces to keep her sane.)

Gantt Center Artist-in-Residence, Michaela Pilar Brown will be hoping to stir a conversation about cultural appropriation as she sets up “loads of tissue paper totems from ceiling to floor” for an upcoming photo shoot, edits photos from a previous shoot, and works on a large scale collage "The Battle of Bo Derek,"  a mythical battle between an army of Barbie dolls and blade wielding, braid cutting, pickaninny dolls from the turn of the century.

And Isaac Payne? He'll be drawing. And trust us, you won't want to miss his studio.

Brian Scott Cambell will also be drawing in his studio, while you are there, be sure to check out 'Wild Times,' a new drawing that that he completed during his first month in residence at the Center. 

And don't miss a Gallery Talk at 1 PM with Carrie Becker and Michael Gayk who will guide gallery visitors through their exhibition, Elements, and address the concepts and creative process behind their individual pieces.
