STICKS

January 16, 2009 - April 18, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, January 16, 5-8pm

Self-taught artists compelled to create often use whatever materials are available to them. Jan Petry curates this exhibit celebrating those artists who have picked up a stick and made it their own. Tree trunks, branches, twigs, roots… telephone poles, matchsticks, toothpicks… transformed in the hands of those with the vision to see in the humble stick what others do not.

The Picture Tells the Story:
The Drawings of Joseph E. Yoakum
January 16, 2009 - June 27, 2009
Opening Reception: Friday, January 16, 5-8pm

Curated by Mark Pascale, this is an exhibition of Joseph Yoakum’s visionary landscapes, inspired by his world travels. Yoakum’s drawings function as records of his own memories-- his work blends remembered and imagined locales to create abstracted topographies. Click the image for more details.

Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art promotes public awareness, understanding, and appreciation of intuitive and outsider art through education, exhibition, collecting and publishing. Intuit defines ‘intuitive and outsider art’ as the work of artists who demonstrate little influence from the mainstream art world, and who instead are motivated by their unique personal vision. This definition includes art brut, non-traditional folk art, self-taught art, and visionary art.
