Introducing October's Artists in Residence: Jake Joy Mulyk and Vicki Myers

Jake Joy and Vicki Myers both work in different mediums and subject matter from each other, yet when they come together to collaborate, it all works! They expand each other’s ways of thinking and expression. They often work outdoors creating things together with natural material. For this collaboration they will be creating a sculpture with natural and recycled materials and anything could happen. They are interested in exploring the relationship between art and waste / art and climate change / artists and answers. 

Residency Closing Event Halloween style! Saturday, October 30, 2021, 4-7pm

Join us in celebrating Jake Joy and Vicki Myers’ month long residency. In this residency Jake and Vicki are tackling texture and conversation around nature, climate change and COVID-19 through sculpture, drawing and installation. For our large installation we plan to put a large spiderweb outside that catches everything from Halloween treats, to spiders, rats and Covid germs! Spiderwebs will be all around the gallery and you will get a chance to help build one!

In the spirit of Halloween come and build spiderwebs with us! We invite everyone to wear a decorated or otherwise interesting face mask. Please bring your proof of vaccination or negative Covid-19 test.

Mixed Media Painting Workshop

Explore multi-layered painting, mark-making and photo-transfer with October’s artist in residence, Jake Joy Mulyk. We will create miniature paintings on cotton paper. The focus is on experimenting and layering to create texture and drawing in abstract form. We will explore the world where landscape blurs into the abstract. This workshop is for all levels of artists, but geared towards introducing mixed media techniques including encaustic.
