Friday Night Event

See what is being showcased in our downtown galleries during the “First Friday” Art Walk held each month! Join friends at Art Space Vincennes, Open Gallery, Northwest Territory Art Gallery, and Shircliff Gallery for the First Friday Art Walk, Friday, March 3.  Downtown galleries will be open 5 – 8 pm, Shircliff gallery closes at 6 pm.

Art Space Vincennes LLC, 521 Main will open Journey through Monotype Prints, Amanda Barrow and Elizabeth Busey.  Barrow, originally from Indiana but now working in East Hampton, Massachusetts and Busey, from Bloomington, Indiana met at a workshop in Brooklyn in January 2020. Both artists work non-objectively with a focus on the interaction of geometric shapes. Barrow’s pieces, influenced by her travels in India, offer ethereal organic abstractions inspired by nature, architecture and the human body. In contrast, Busey’s works are collage based, constructed with clean-edged tesserae of monotype prints, cyanotypes, vintage maps and gold leaf.  Busey also draws inspiration from travel, with references to topography and plant forms evoking feelings of memory, longing and connection.  Both artists will be present at the March opening.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat Noon – 5 pm and by appointment: 812-887-6145 

Northwest Territory Art Guild, 316 Main will present Goose Pond Marsh Madness, featuring over fifty wildlife photos by Guild Member Steve LaRoche. These will include many of waterfowl and other wildlife from the Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area south of Linton.  Staff from Goose Pond have created a window display at the Guild depicting Goose Pond.  Spring themed artworks created by Guild members in a wide variety of styles and media will also be on display and for sale.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 11 am – 2 pm. Additional hours by appointment; contact the gallery via Facebook.

The Open Gallery, 329 Main will present a retrospective exhibition of works by John Baeder.  Michael Mullen, gallery co-director, has been collecting Baeder’s artworks over the span of a life-long friendship with the artist, and is now sharing this collection.  It offers the rare opportunity to witness the trajectory of this nationally recognized artist’s career, including his diner watercolors, photocollage pieces, and more recent vintage airplane paintings and matchbook paintings. Yale Professor of Art Vincent Scully wrote that it’s his emotional attachment to his subject matter that sets Baeder’s work apart from many of the other Photorealists: “John Baeder’s paintings seem to me to differ from most of those of his brilliant Magic-Realist contemporaries in that they are gentle, lyrical, and deeply in love with their subjects.”      

The First Friday Players will again provide rollicking good Irish music for visitors to enjoy. 

Regular gallery hours: Tue, Thu 12 – 5 pm, Sat 11 am – 4 pm and by chance.

812- 881-6475.

The Shircliff Gallery, First and Harrison Streets, will be showing Diminution of Light: Alternative Photographic Process.  The exhibition presents works by Larry Gawal, Mark Schoon & Casey McGuire, Antonio Martinez and John Steck, Jr.  Alternative process photography is a term used to describe any non-traditional photographic printing processes such as cyanotype, salt prints, photograms and pinholes. A reception for the artists will take place at the gallery on Thursday, March 2.  The exhibition will continue through March 10.

Regular gallery hours: weekdays 9 am – 6 pm; the gallery will be open until 6 pm on First Friday March 3. 812-888-4316

Join friends at Art Space Vincennes, Open Gallery, Northwest Territory Art Gallery, Shircliff Gallery, Dragoon pop-up temporary gallery, and the Democratic Headquarters for the First Friday Art Walk, Friday, November 4.  Galleries will be open 5 – 8 pm. 

Art Space Vincennes LLC, 521 Main will open Terminable Landscapes/Small Dramas, digital drawings, and photo montages by retired Vincennes University Art Professor Jim Pearson.  The exhibition has two interrelated themes.  Long horizontal rectangular compositions reflect the complexity of the natural world and our impact upon it.  Smaller works include figurative imagery and are vignettes of dramas, tragedies, and questions about human life.  They are not intended to be literal, but to leave open possibilities for viewers to consider.  Both bodies of work demonstrate Jim’s sensitivity to the expressive power of tonal value. The exquisite refinement of meaning that results are impacted by his intense focus on his work during retirement, his long history of teaching drawing and printmaking, and his education in printmaking, a discipline whose exacting demands were passed on to him via his excellent teachers, including Rudy Pozzatti, at Indiana University, Bloomington where he earned his MFA degree.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat Noon – 5 pm.  Other hours by appointment; call 812-887-6145.  Closed Thanksgiving weekend, 11/24 – 11/28.

 Northwest Territory Art Guild, 316 Main will be showing fall and winter-themed works by Guild members, as well as a special sale of works that will continue into December.

These will be in a variety of styles and media and will offer a great opportunity to start thinking about Christmas gift-giving.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 11 am – 2 pm. Additional hours by appointment; contact the gallery via Facebook.

The Open Gallery, 329 Main will open These Roads Don’t Move, works by Christina Zimmer Robinson and Sarah Wolfe.  Both artists recently participated in the Indiana Arts Commission On-Ramp program.  Robinson’s works focus on her interest in aligning control, structure, and harmonious relationships between colors.  She explores various mediums and styles, including abstraction, portraiture, sculpture, and textile work.

Wolfe characterizes her work for this exhibition as exploratory and flights of freedom from the many duties both women juggle as wives, mothers, and working artists.  While Wolfe agrees that the two bodies of her work for this show may seem disparate, the abstract floral pieces are “a joyous, freeing exploration of color and textures gleaned from the outside world. The anatomical works are simply the inverse–an examination of our potentially gloriously interesting innards.” The show will run until mid-December.                     

The First Friday Players will again provide rollicking good Irish music for visitors to enjoy. 

Regular gallery hours: Tue, Thu 12 – 5 pm, Sat 11 am – 4 pm, and by chance. 812- 881-6475

The Shircliff Gallery, First and Harrison Streets, will present Flood and Pull, a two-person exhibition of works by Jay Ryan and Ryan Stander, two artists using printmaking techniques in their contemporary practice.

Ryan begins with illustration, creating whimsical and imaginative images with pen and ink. The images frequently depict mischievous wilderness creatures cavorting in ways which serve to reflect on and question our own human behavior.

Stander’s series, Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid explores social and cultural topics through the use of indirect visual symbols. Viewers are encouraged to piece together meaning through loose associations, rather than explicit illustration. He draws upon various cultural frameworks, including his past theological education to express ideas, questions, and critiques.

Regular gallery hours: weekdays 9 am – 5 pm. 812-888-4316; the gallery will be open until 6 pm on the First Friday, November 4.

Join friends at Art Space Vincennes, Open Gallery, Northwest Territory Art Gallery, Shircliff Gallery, Dragoon pop-up temporary gallery, and the Democratic Headquarters for the First Friday Art Walk, Friday, October 7.  Galleries will be open 5 – 8 pm.  The Autumn on Main festival will run from 6 – 10 pm and will include food trucks, live music, beer and wine tasting, and “Touch a Truck” sponsored by State Farm agent Andrew Hinz.  Participating Main Street businesses will be open for extended hours.

Art Space Vincennes LLC, 521 Main will continue Personal Perspectives, monoprints, collage, and watercolor artworks by retired Vincennes University Art Professor Deborah Hutchinson-Hagedorn.  These recent works express this artist’s love of nature; the subject matter is often landscape, at times with a focus on a single tree. Deborah states, “The tree acts as a metaphor for life and rebirth through seasonal dying and renewal.” There are also abstract pieces reflecting inspirational life experiences, revealed through the artist’s deep understanding of expressive color and her expertise in the many-layered processes involved in creating a monotype print.  This month offers a unique opportunity for gallery-goers to have an in-depth experience of Deborah’s work; see the information on the Northwest Territory Art Guild’s October show.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat Noon – 5 pm.  Other hours by appointment; call 812-887-6145

The Open Gallery, 329 Main will continue Drive-by Shootings, photographs by former Vincennes University Professor of Photography Arthur Fields.  Fields conceived this series idea during the lonely hours of the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown as a way to stay in touch with those things that brought him joy, including the art of photography.  The exhibition features a variety of people on their front porches, photographed from a street vantage point, framed by the outlines of their homes where they were obliged to remain for weeks.  The collection has at one and the same time a sameness about the small-town folks, and yet, upon closer inspection, the portraits reveal a varied and arresting cadre of individuals living together, separately, during a time of great worldwide upheaval. Arthur will be coming from his new home in Texas to be at the First Friday reception.

The First Friday Players will again provide rollicking good Irish music for visitors to enjoy.

The exhibit consists of framed photographs, painting/photo collages, chine collé prints, and hanging translucent image scrims that create an atmospheric and experiential encounter for the viewer. Exploration of the region is ongoing, with more works to be made in the next few months. The beauty and hidden history of these places are revealed in these artworks.

Regular gallery hours: weekdays 9 am – 5 pm. 812-888-4316; the gallery will be open until 6 pm on First Friday, October 7.

The Shircliff Gallery, First and Harrison Streets, will be showing Bone Deep, paintings by Michael K. Paxton.  Paxton, a well-established Chicago fine artist whose career spans more than forty-eight years, is also a sixth-generation West Virginian from the coalfields of deepest Appalachia. In his series, Bone Deep, he plumbs his Appalachian roots. Slides of coal miners’ black lungs are translated first to sketches, then larger drawings, then immense canvases.  The dark source images transform into richly colored compositions, bordering on abstract expressionism. They seduce the eye while raising awareness of a people and culture underrepresented in contemporary art.

Join friends at three downtown galleries, the Democratic Headquarters, and the Dragoon pop-up gallery for the First Friday Art Walk, Friday, August 5.  Galleries will be open 5 – 8 pm. 

Art Space Vincennes LLC, 521 Main will continue Otherside Visions, colorful calligraphic non-objective watercolor paintings on panel, and mylar by Gwaylon Leaf.  Leaf is an emerging artist whose work embodies multicultural complexity.  Raised in the US but surrounded by the Taoist philosophy and Chinese art that influenced his father, artist Bill Leaf, he embraces a “sense of otherness that experience with his cultures has granted him.”  His awareness of traditional Chinese art merges with the “aesthetic sensibilities of contemporary western artists such as Cy Twombly and Mark Toby.” Gwaylon Leaf earned his BFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and his MFA from the University of Nevada, Reno. He currently lives and works in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Due to the current COVID rise in numbers, masking is recommended.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat Noon – 5 pm.  Other hours by appointment; call 812-887-6145

Work by Guild members in watercolor and other media will also be on display and for sale.

Regular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 11 am – 2 pm. Additional hours by appointment; contact the gallery via Facebook.

The Open Gallery 329 Main will continue The Faces Behind Peace, Artwork by Fernando Lozano.  Lozano writes this about his work: “Art became my saving grace after the devastating tragedy of losing my son, and it is from that inspiration that I am presenting this series.  The idea to read and research about people who selflessly dedicated their lives to promoting peace and who had won the Nobel Peace Prize was a welcoming subject after finishing the series The Faces of Torture. Their characters surface slowly over the word ‘PEACE’, dictating the colors and composition of the canvas.  It was and still is a subject that I go back to when I need a reaffirmation of humanity, knowing that I am just scratching the surface because there are still so many great humans to know and celebrate.”

The First Friday Players will again provide rollicking good Irish music for visitors to enjoy.
