Current Exhibit: EVOLUTION
Now through February 28th | Closing Reception Saturday, February 23rd

Image

TraillWorks is taking an entirely new approach to our first exhibit of 2013. Throughout the month of January, artists have been coming in to TraillWorks with their materials and creative minds to start and complete the process of making a work(s) of art. As each artist completes his/her piece, it will be immediately hung on the wall, and so on and so forth.

This "evolution" will be completed at the end of January, and will then be on display for one month's time. The formation of the exhibit will emerge over time and essentially be curated on its' own terms. This experimental progression of artists creating work in the TraillWorks' gallery/studio space will result in an entire body of work titled, EVOLUTION.

The creative process will end on Thursday, January 31st. The completed exhibit will be on display from February 1st through February 28th, with the closing reception on Saturday, February 23rd from 5 - 8pm. Food will be provided by Art Partner, The Plaza Restaurant.

The participating artists include:
Phylis Barfoot, Emily Bittner, Brenda Decker, Janis Cutler Gear, Patricia Griffin, Martha C. Hall, Ron Hornung, Jane Brennan Koeck, Linda Vonderschmidt-LaStella, Amanda Gordon Miller, David Ohlerking, Andrea Rosenfeld, Jennie Traill Schaeffer, Marty Traill Schaeffer and Nancy Virbila.
