Co-Flourish: Open Air Residency exhibit

Holter Museum of Art, Helena MT - January 5 - March 24, 2024
"This multi-media exhibit features work by artists from the 2020 Open AIR Residency Program. From fiber arts and video inspired by Flathead Lake to sculptural works fabricated by machines in Montana public libraries, dance films, and oil paintings inspired by the history of Historical Fort Missoula, there is something for everyone in this exhibition.
CoFlourish contemplates what it means for these artists to be connected to creativity, place, and community. This exhibition is organized by Open AIR, Missoula, MT, and traveling under the auspices of MAGDA (Montana Art Gallery Directors Association)." ~ via Glacier Art Museum (formerly Hockaday Art Museum)

“This exhibit is a merger of two exhibitions from the pandemic. One is CoLab MT+, a collaborative project where Open AIR paired artists from Montana and beyond to connect and create together during the pandemic. The second is Flourish, an exhibition that featured works created by the Open AIR Artists-in-Residence during their place-based residencies in various parts of Western Montana." ~ via MAGDA

Thanks Shelley! I'm glad to have participated in this exhibit, as well as documenting it for Open Air, and the other artists that were not able to see it in person.
