Glowen/Davidson at Anchor

Coming up this Friday, September 30th at 6:30pm, Margaret Davidson will present a slide talk on her new book Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques.  The book discusses the surge of drawing in the art world as something that exists separate and unique from painting.  It also discusses a number of artists who have chosen to break the traditional boundaries separating artistic styles.  Books will be available for purchase and Margaret will be available for signing. Read the full synopsis here.

After Margaret's talk, Ron Glowen will give a short presentation on his installation currently up through October 1st.  During that time, he will discuss how Como Orchards/Montana came to fruition.  Including how the idea began and its evolution to the installation at Anchor.  Heavily layered, if this piece has drawn you in as it has so many others, you won't want to miss this opportunity.  Ron will also be available to answer any questions.  

We are extremely lucky to have the opportunity to listen to both these wonderful artists speak on their work and we look forward to seeing you all there!

Orchards, Gardens and Birds

Ron & Kathryn Glowen
Reception: September 2, 6-9pm

The month of September is proving to be an exciting one.  Anchor is very proud to present work by Ron and Kathryn Glowen as they make their triumphant return to the space since November 2009 when "tangle" first opened at Anchor (read more about that show here as it traveled to Eastern Washington this past spring)  Their show "tangle" helped set the bar that Anchor has been identified with and this month's "Orchards, Gardens and Birds" does not disappoint.  It is colorful and obsessively prepared, signature qualities of the Glowen's work.  Running through October 1, the reception is today, September 2, 6-9pm. 

*Also during the month of September, Anchor will be hosting two literary events. Sunday, September 18th, at 4:30pm Jane Alynn will be reading from her new book of poetry "Necessity of Flight".

Necessity of Flight by Jane Alynn
