News from ARAC

Anchor welcomes back Jean Behnke from her residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado.  Despite a few snow induced bumps and bruises along the way, Jean made some great prints.  Here are some photos of Anderson Ranch and the prints for your viewing pleasure.

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!
