On Friday, July 26th from 5 - 8pm the Artists' Studio in the Foohtills (ASiF) invites the public to enjoy wine, refreshments and live music in celebration of it's Eleventh Annual Resident Artist Show. The exhibit will feature new work by it's twenty seven resident artists in a wide range of media including mosaics, fiber art, painting, printmaking, sculpture, jewelry, pottery and more. This year's stable of resident artists also includes two young artists, one high school and one college age artist, the lucky recipients of resident status through ASiF's new Summer Youth Artist Residency Program.
The gallery will feature a selection of new works by resident artists in the center's main gallery, plus twenty five individual artist exhibits in the center's private studio spaces and community classrooms. The event will begin at 5pm with wine, refreshments and a live musical performance by jazz pianist Gregory S. Young and bass player Andy Armstrong.
The summer of 2019 has proven to be a very exciting eleventh season for ASiF as it welcomes back a couple of its original resident artists from its early days; oil painter Kathryn Wronski and printmaking artist Rebecca Bleau. ASiF also welcomes the return of oil painter, Mark Wilcox and the first time residency of acrylic painter, Paul Honatke, each of whom have private studio and exhibition spaces off the main gallery!
Also joining ASiF's stable of artists this summer are 17 year old potter, Ivy Brott, 18 year old photo collage artist and illustrator, Grace Pieper and 16 year old fiber/embroidery artist Hazel Goode. The latter two in this list of young artists are the lucky recipients of a sponsored private studio space, a master class workshop offered by artist Richard Downs, and ongoing mentoring offered by ASiF resident artists as part of the center's new Summer Youth Residency program.
The 2019 Resident Artist Show will be on display through August 18th.
