Join us for the Final Friday Artist Talk of "Art Adoption Center", the wonderful exhibit by Mark Matthews
Matthews has been making and showing his unique and multi-media work, ranging from paintings to metalwork to woodworking and beyond, for decades now. Over the years, he has realized that artists who depend on wealthy art collectors to sustain them are rolling the dice. The system embraces a few artists, but most are left to survive as best they can. In hindsight,he wishes he had stuck to my guns and kept prices at a level that he felt was not only fair, but also affordable. If he had, maybe people from all walks of life would have decided to adopt his art rather than just admiring it as they walked past the display window or strolled through the gallery. In his latest exhibit Art Adoption Center, Mark has a wide-variety of work on display, mostly new, some older favorites, with this in mind.
The evening will include an artist talk at 6:30pm, offering insight into the artist’s creative process, techniques, and the stories behind the work, followed by time to get a last view at the artwork and snag that special piece before it’s gone!
Event held at The Confluence Center, 119 W Main St, Missoula.
Free and open to all.
