Conversations with Beauty: Carol Rawlings, Diane Gilbert and Bonny Stauffer Exhibition
Wednesday, July 4, 2012 - Saturday, August 4, 2012
Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse - 232 North Granite St., Prescott
The Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse announces the opening of the art exhibition, Conversations with Beauty, featuring the works of three Prescott artists, Carol Rawlings, Diane Gilbert and Bonny Stauffer.
This exhibition is the third in which these Prescott artists have shown their work together. Although each works in different media, they find that their shared love for the beauty of the natural world results in works that speak to one another. The exhibition is open July 4 - August 4 with a reception for the artists on July 6 (6:00-8:00 pm), and an artist talk July 27 (at 6:00 pm), in conjunction with the Prescott 4th Friday Art Walk.
In a collective exhibition statement for Conversations with Beauty, artists Rawlings, Gilbert, and Stauffer explain,
"The three of us have been in conversation with each other for many years about our responses to the natural world and about the poets, philosophers, and other artists whose ideas resonate with us. We have shown our work together twice before and feel that the works, too, carry on a conversation among themselves. Although each of us works separately in our chosen discipline, we think of this exhibition as a collaborative work in its own right. In a time when news about the environment is apt to be bad, we suggest that imaginative personal interaction with earth and sky can be an antidote to despair and paralysis. Each of us finds great joy in the richness of nature, and we mean this exhibition to be an expression of gratitude for it."
Regular gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. For more information, please contact 928-350-2341 or jchandler@prescott.edu.
