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.
