Meet Me at Capital Arts Gallery Sunday, March 15

Ever notice that funky old stone building on Missouri Blvd near Washington Park? I don't know what it used to be, but recently the City of Jefferson Parks, Recreation and Forestry turned it into an art gallery. They also invited me and several other JC-area artists to submit three works to show between March 7 and April 16. I was charmed and obliged them with three watercolor scenes of the Missouri River I painted last fall. I hope you'll join me for the Invitational Exhibition reception on Sunday, March 15, at 1 p.m. See you there!

CURRENT EXHIBIT: JESSICA FORYS

2008-03-24T15:04:00.000-07:00

WHAT: Objects of Affection, is an exhibition of new paintings and sculptures by artist Jessica Forys. Inspired by a personal fetish for old things, Jessica’s whimsical, abstract paintings are an inviting world of nostalgic imagery. Also on display are hand-made, fabric sculptures that are strange reminders of “loved to death” stuffed animal toys.

WHERE: Orr Street Studios
106 Orr Street
located in downtown Columbia, Missouri, near Stephens College, north of the intersection of Walnut and Orr Street
Monday-Saturday 1pm-6pm, artist on-site
Website: http://www.orrstreetstudios.com

WHO: Jessica Forys is a candidate for the Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Missouri. In addition to her traditional painting, Jessica also works with a variety of domestic processes and materials. These include hand-embroidery, historical doll construction, tea-staining cloth, and salvaging scraps of fabric from curtains, bedspreads, and pillows.

WHY: This exhibition is an opportunity for viewers to be inspired to reclaim the awe and compassion for the material world that we forget with age. When we step back from our fast-paced lives to appreciate what is simple, we can rekindle suppressed memories and feelings through the power of objects. They are a source of reminiscence, help us cope with mortality, and inspire us to care for them. These works investigate this magical power. The exhibition is in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts Degree requirement and features the culmination of three years of creative research in painting and fiber art.

WHEN: Friday, April 4 –Friday, April 18, 2008

Artist’s Reception: Friday, April 18th 5pm-8pm
Refreshments will be served

Special arrangements: the artist will be on site to demonstrate work processes and answer questions while the show is mounted:
Monday through Saturday from 1pm – 6pm

Exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.

For more information, please contact Jessica Forys, (618) 534-5680, jrfdh8@mizzou.edu

Orr Street Studios Location

2008-03-16T15:07:00.001-07:00

Orr Street Studios are located in downtown Columbia, Missouri, near Stephens College, north of the intersection of Walnut and Orr Streets.

Link to driving directions from mapquest. Mapquest driving directions get you close, but not all the way there: Orr Street Studios are not on the corner of Walnut and Orr Street, as mapquest driving directions suggest. The studios are a bit down the block on Orr Street. There is a new neon sign, so look east when you are driving on Orr Street, and you will see a striking gray structure with a lot of windows, trimmed in red. This is the place!
