SUMMARY:First Friday Art Walk
DESCRIPTION:First Friday Art Walk October  4\, 2024 \n\n\n\nJoin friends at Art Space Vincennes\, Open Gallery\, Northwest Territory Art Guild Gallery and Shircliff Gallery for the First Friday Art Walk\, October 4\, 5 – 8 pm. Enjoy art and refreshments at the downtown galleries and catch the Shircliff Gallery before it closes at 6. \n\n\n\nArt Space Vincennes LLC\, 521 Main will open John Puffer: Photographs for Lulu\, Photographs for My Daughter.  John began taking photographs at the age of 12\, borrowing his mother’s Christmas present\, a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera.  He is now retired from Vincennes University after teaching there and at other colleges for over 40 years. \n\n\n\nAt his daughter’s request\, he has assembled a group of photographs that chronicle his career as a photographer.  He shares this collection of works in this exhibition. \n\n\n\nJohn will be present during the First Friday reception to speak with visitors. \n\n\n\nRegular gallery hours Tue – Sat Noon – 5 pm \n\n\n\n812-887-6145 \n\n\n\nNorthwest Territory Art Guild\, 316 Main will feature a collection of both past and recent works by local artist Shirley Truelove.  Shirley will show a variety of floral-themed paintings\, vibrant in color with energetic surface textures created through expressive impasto technique.  She works in both oil and acrylic media. \n\n\n\nSeasonal works by Guild members in a variety of styles and media will be on display and for sale in the back galleries\, along with hand-made ceramics and jewelry. \n\n\n\nRegular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 11 am – 2 pm. Additional hours by appointment; contact the gallery via Facebook. \n\n\n\n The Open Gallery 329 Main will be opening “Spiracies”\, recent work by artist and writer Coleman Stevenson.  Stevenson uses hand-rendered text as image and chance-based monoprinting techniques in works based on lines from poems in Rainier Maria Rilke’s Book of Hours and excerpts of other significant texts. These works address the dilemma of solitude\, the nature of prayer and devotion\, and the difference between habit and meaningful repetition as we cross thoughts together and weave our lives with the lives of others\, creating in that inadvertent layering many tiny openings for spirit to enter. \n\n\n\nStevenson is the author of three collections of poems and several books about the Tarot including The Dark Exact Tarot Guide. In addition to her work as a designer of tarot and oracle decks through her company The Dark Exact\, her fine art work\, has been exhibited in galleries around the US.  She has been a guest curator for various gallery spaces and has taught poetry\, tarot\, design theory\, and cultural studies for many educational and community organizations across the country\, as well as online. She currently resides in southern Illinois. \n\n\n\nStevenson will be on hand at the First Friday event to greet guests and talk about her artwork\, which will be showing through the month of October.  \n\n\n\nRegular gallery hours: Tue – Sat 10 – 4:30 pm.   812- 881-6475. \n\n\n\nThe Shircliff Gallery\, First and Harrison Streets\, will be showing Uprooted\, works by Laura Greenwood and Margaret LeJeune through October 20.  There will be a reception for the artists Thursday October 17\, 12 pm. \n\n\n\nLaura Greenwood is a visual artist working across photography\, printmaking\, fibers and time-based media. Her work investigates relationships between humans and the environments they inhabit\, modify and adapt to. \n\n\n\nMargaret LeJeune’s creative practice explores the relationship between art\, science\, and environmental studies.  As a lens-based creator\, she produces works that probe shifting landscapes\, symbiotic relationships\, and the nature of the photographic medium.  In 2023 she was named the Woman Science Photographer of the year by the Royal Photographic Society. \n\n\n\nRegular gallery hours: weekdays 9 am – 6 pm; 812-888-4316 \n\n\n\nGallery will be open until 6 pm First Friday September 6.
