Art Attack / Open Studios / Softer Lands

ArtAttack 〰️ ArtAttack 〰️ ArtAttack 〰️ OPEN STUDIOS Member Artists Open Studios Once a month, the studio doors open. Our Member Artists invite you into their private studios to share works-in-progress, recent creations, and the process behind the work. With 8 studios currently home to 9 artists — and more joining all the time — there's always something new in the making. IN THE GALLERY softer lands A Textile Exploration of Stewardship and Landscape Side Rail Collective is proud to announce Softer Lands, an exhibition that re-envisions our relationship with the environment through the lens of fiber arts. Featuring fibrous landscapes—ranging from abstract to representational—the show challenges the objectifying view of land as a resource, proposing instead a view of the land as kin. In response to the realities of climate change and fast consumption, Softer Lands highlights the power of slow craft. Artists utilize techniques such as mending, dyeing, and repurposing to explore ecological memory and environmental repair. The title suggests a softening of our own perspective and ultimately, it asks if we can weave a more sustainable future for the rough and beautiful world we inhabit. Artist Receptions Saturday, April 11th 4-8 PM Saturday, May 9th 4-8 PM Gallery is generally open Sundays from 12-4 For inquiries: Gallery Manager & Curator: Essa Baird siderailcollective.com NOMAD STUDIOS Open House Curious about Side Rail?
