First Friday Art Walk in the Old Mill District returns Friday, May 3 from 3-6 p.m. This Friday, May 3 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. we celebrate the dawn of a new month, and the dawn of spring, by way of First Friday Art Walk. Join Tumalo Art Co., The Stacks Art Studios & Gallery, Lubbesmeyer Art Studio & Gallery, and a host of shops as they showcase works of art from regional artists. It’s a captivating journey through the expressions of local artists, each as expansive as the themes that inspire them.
Our second floor studios, Lubbesmeyer Art Studio & Gallery and The Stacks Art Studios & Gallery, continue to amaze us month after month with their original works layered with mixed media and meaning. In fact, this week Alyson Brown of The Stacks launches her cyanotype prints named “Blue in Bloom”. Drawing inspiration from her love of botanical charts and specimen prints, Alyson has embarked on a new artistic venture creating floral cyanotypes, aka sunprints, from photos of flowers she’s styled and shot. Paying homage to the rich history of botanical documentation, her first collection is an ethereal look into the graceful personalities of flowers. Each sunprint is a delicate balance of art and science, capturing the fleeting beauty of floral specimens.
This month our artist collective Tumalo Art Co. presents “Stillness” featuring new hand-blown glass and intimate landscape paintings by Nancy Becker and Susan Lucky Higdon. With a similar sensibility for color and a shared sense of awe for what is communicated by nature, glass artist Nancy Becker and painter Susan Luckey Higdon enjoy displaying their work together and seeing the energy it creates. Designing the gallery’s exhibit space with both 2D and 3D pieces leads to a stunning synchronicity as the artworks ‘speak’ to each other. Susan’s images come from time spent in the high Cascades painting plein air in the late autumn and Nancy’s fluid use of color and shape in her glass blowing is her response to living and working on her land.
Keep an eye on our social media for updates as to all the district studios and shops who are opening their doors for all to meet the humans behind the incredible creations. First Friday Art Walkers will encounter some of the best mixed media art, acrylic, oil-based, sculpture, photography, jewelry, ceramics and hand-turned wood, among other mediums!
First Friday participants can enjoy not only art from around Central Oregon, but participating shops and studios offer different wine samples compliments of Va Piano Vineyards Wine and Champagne Bar. The carefully selected wines complement the creative ambiance, enriching the experience as walkers explore the depths of the regional art on display. First Friday Art Walk in the Old Mill District is the perfect prelude before downtown Bend’s activities that start at 5 p.m.
