"A Place Called Home" January 13 - February 10
Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse 232 N. Granite St. This exhibition features the collaborative sculptural works of Prescott-based artists Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis. Asay and Davis have partnered since 1983 as collaborative artists creating sculptures and installations from natural materials. These minimalist works focus on the organic richness of the material itself. There will be a reception for the artists on Friday, January 13, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm.
The artists state, "In this exhibition . . .we explore familiar materials that abound in the Prescott Basin. Because the land is so diverse in its offerings, we are able to bring together but a sampling of all that there is to be experienced in this amazing place that we have called home for so long. Each sculpture speaks for itself, but carries with it the joy we find in discovery and collaborative sharing. May these materials that we know so well strike a chord deep within all who call Prescott home." Join us on Friday, January 27 at 7:00 pm for an artist talk with Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis in the gallery. All events are free and open to the public. Regular gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. For more information, please contact 928-350-2341 or visit their website. |
