Jonsson Talks Art
Through the end of the month at Anchor and through March 2nd at MONA Theodora Jonsson's works will be available for your viewing pleasure. On top of that, next Saturday, February 26th at 2pm, Theodora will be giving an illustrated Artist Talk at MONA. She will discuss her inspirations behind her glass works as well as the wider range of work and experience that are the motivating factors behind her themes and processes. So, when you're planning next weekend's excursion, make sure you fit in some time to listen to this artist on the rise.

Bending Space
Installation by Lanny Bergner
Last night kicked off Anchor's 2011 show calender with a bang! Thank you to everyone who came out to show their support! We had a great time. So far, "Bending Space" has been getting some really positive feedback. Check out The Cascadia Weekly's article: "Bending Space" with Lanny Bergner. The show includes three main installations "Constellation Maker 3", "A Gaggle of Baskets", and "Bending Space", along with some smaller works. Remember, the works are site specific, so you'll never see it the same way anywhere else!

On top of all that, our Moving Image Room is currently filled with not moving image, but glass work by Theodora Jonsson. Theodora's "Whale Bones" are also currently on display at MONA. Her painted and etched glass forms are inspired by the mysteries of natural science and native stories of animal spirits.
The show will be up through February 26th, so make sure you come by and see it!

Anchor Update!
Perhaps you have noticed, Anchor is closed through the month of January. Jean Behnke has arrived at Anderson Ranch for a studio residency and the rest of the Anchor crew is enjoying some much deserved R&R and studio time.
Don't despair! We will be back in action in February to kick off an entire year of exciting shows. To start, Bending Space: Installation by Lanny Bergner opens February 4th. Lanny's installation will include a version of Constellation Maker, one of three wall installations, and Bending Space, incorporating angular pieces of varying size and shape constructed from stainless steel mesh, silicone, wire and colored paper. The third part of Lanny's installation A Gaggle of Baskets, uses interrelate organic basketry shapes made from pattern-burned stainless steel mesh. It opens on February 4th during the Anacortes Art Walk from 6-9 and will continue through February 27th. See you there!

Art for the Holidays
In case you haven't heard, Anchor's backroom looks pretty festive right now. We have art for every budget. Ornaments by Olive Glass, Lanny Bergner and Ann Reid. Ceramics by the likes of Jeff Hanks, Gail Gingell and Julie Lindell. TJ Adersn, Genevieve Castree, Terry Frankel, Todd Horton, Phil Elverum, Clarity Miller just to name a few. Jewelry, paintings, cards, chocolates, bowls, books, it seems like just about anything and everything. It won't stay like this forever, so make sure to check it out before it is gone.
In other words, we would like to thank everyone for coming to the opening of "This is us!" last Friday. It just might have been the biggest turn out we've seen. We had so much fun, and I hope that those of you who came are able to make it back to get a full view of the show. For those who were unable to make it, we will be here through the end of the month and this is really a show not to be missed. Thank you again from Anchor!

THIS IS US! Lindsey, Klamser, Roberts & Moe
We hope you have all been staying warm and full on this chilly Thanksgiving weekend. Anchor has been getting ourselves together for the opening of our next show THIS IS US! The show, opening Friday, December 3 (6-9pm), will include Tom Lindsey, Patty Klamser, Sue Roberts and Allen Moe. There is already quite a bit of buzz circling the show and the talented artists it includes. Ford Gilbreath's Margaret Makes Art and Moon Root will also be continuing in the Moving Image Room, so if you haven't seen it yet, now is a great time. We are expecting a great opening. Come by and say hello!

Looking Forward
Art Walk in Anacortes
Braving the wind and rain is encouraged. Anchor is bringing in a new video artist for the occasion, Ford Gilbreath, with two works, "Margaret Makes Art" and "Moon Root". Ford gives a uniquely up-close vision of worlds within worlds. "Margaret Makes Art" is a tribute to Margaret Lewis Gilbreath (the artist's mother). Using a cystoscope and a small cctv camera allows a sense of traveling through the miniature landscape created by Margaret in the 1980s. "Moon Root", on the other hand, uses the same small camera to probe underground with minimal impact on the land. The camera is then turned toward the moon and various phases pass through frame.
