The Wildness Within

Reception: February 3rd, 6-9pm


February marks the official start of Anchor Access' 2012 calendar.  Hopefully you have all had a chance to stop by in the past month to check out the work of our first artist in resident, Aaron Haba.  Looking forward, Anchor is proud to welcome multi-disciplinary artist Scott Shuldt.  The work includes video, photography, hand surveyed and drawn maps, bead work, as well as a growing installation of hand-carved functional canoe paddles.  This is an open-ended and ongoing project running at Anchor through March 24th.

Anchor Access, in conjunction with Schuldt will be offering two workshops and an artist talk.  A Beading Bee on February 11th and Mapping on March 3rd.  Both workshops will go from 1-4pm.  Interested? Need more information? Sign up on our website (HERE), or contact us at info@anchorartspace.org.  The artist talk (free to attend) will be on March 17th, also at 1pm.

Anchor AIR

As we move forward into 2012 Anchor Access welcomes our very first Artist In Residence (AIR), Aaron Haba.  Although Anchor is closed to the public during his residency, Aaron will be working in the space through January 21st and will be open this Friday, January 6th for the Anacortes Art Walk.  Visitors will have the opportunity during that time to talk with the artist and experience the installation while inside the gallery.  This is a great chance to take in some color during our notoriously bleak Northwest winter.

Though Anchor may not be open to the public the rest of January, don't forget to occasionally make your way in that direction as the installation is constantly evolving.

After January, Anchor will be going back to our regular hours and kicking off the new year of shows with Scott Schuldt.  Stay tuned for more information on that, as well as the upcoming workshops scheduled in conjunction with Scott's show.

Thank you for all your support!
