5/4 Time at The Durango Arts Center

A steady beat but a bit unusual.
An unexpected dynamic to the rhythm,
just a little off balance, definitely not static.
Five artists.
Four bodies of work keeping time together.

Henry Woolbert & Kathy Park
Tess Corrinne Jordan
Dwight Lawing
and Coni Grant

Artists reception Friday, May 9th, 5-7pm
Durango Arts Center through May 30

From Taos to Durango

I barely made it home from Taos, loaded up the van, my daughter Curran (acting as my roadie) and headed West to Durango to join four other artists of note for our "5/4 Time" show at the Durango Arts Center. All 5 artists met in Durango Wednesday morning for the first time (face to face), to hang the show that has kept us working and focused for many months.
We synced immediately and the work went up in good order. Everyone was generous and helpful; even the Arts Center staff was amazed at how quickly and happily 5 artists with such diverse work could put it all together. It looks GREAT! Now for the fun part- the Party!
The Artists Reception is this Friday night, May 9, from 5-7 pm. The show will hang may 9-30 at the Durango Arts Center, 802 E. 2nd Ave., Durango and the gallery houts are Tues.-Sat., 10 am.- 5 pm.

Paintings in the foreground are Tess Corrinne Jordan's. My painting is in the background and in the photo above the masks can be seen. They are the collaborative work of Kathy Park and Henry Woolbert. Also in the show, is Dwight Lawing, a wonderful watercolorist from the Four Corners area.
