“It’s been said that corralling artists can be as challenging as herding cats. Naturally independent and each following his or her own drummer, this is the story of a group of uniquely individual artists who attended a plein air event together, sharing the cost of an Airbnb that was frequented by a neighborhood cat named Archie. Despite their different personalities and perspectives, the artists formed a natural bond, and have supported each other’s growth ever since. While Archie is no longer around (perhaps cats just aren’t meant to be herded after all), Archie’s tribe of talented painters continues to share a passion for plein air, traveling and painting together at least once a year. They are present for each other both artistically and personally, whether via ongoing group text or in person, through the daily trials and tribulations of life.”
The First Friday opening reception will take place at Arts on Main on Friday, September 5th from 5:30 PM - 7:30PM. Light bites will be served and beer + wine will be available for purchase. Live music will be performed by Ami Baker. The show will be on display at Arts on Main until Saturday, September 27th. The gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday from 12-5pm.
