The Iron Mountain Public Arts Advisory, under the direction of Sarah Rice invites all to attend the Second Annual Art Reception at the historical Braumart Theater on Thursday, May 25, 2023 from 5-7 p.m. This years artists include Sara Westcott and Tris Bain. Light refreshments will be served and artists will be present to share their work and meet with all who attend. Sara Westcott is a hobby artist from Vulcan Michigan. She found her spark for art back in high-school under the direction of Shelly Danielson. Under Danielson’s guidance, she learned to love the mediums of charcoal and ink. Sara’s style is drawn from chiaroscuro, using strong contrast and true dark and light values. Her artwork ranges from portraits to domestic animals to beautiful local landscapes. Tris Morrigan Bain is our second featured artist and is known for as a fantasy painter. She has degrees in illustration and comics from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, California. Her work is inspired by the natural world and the fae world. Tris lives in Iron Mountain with her family. Come, visit and celebrate these artists at The Braumart Theater located at 106 East B Street in downtown Iron Mountain.
Later this summer Michaela Rice, a Wisconsin raised artist known for her landscape oil paintings will be sharing her art work at the Sandstone Terrace in downtown Iron Mountain. Thursday July 13, 2023 from 5-7 p.m. she will be sharing her work which has been featured at the “Art Connective” gallery in DePere WI, Landscapes group show and the online exhibit Rejected. She received first place at the Tarlton Theatre annual Art War, live speed painting performance. Her formal training is that of a chef, she uses her artistic nature by day through food, transforming that talent onto canvas by night. Inspired by her favorite views of the sky, she captures the clouds and the light in such a way, that grabs your attention and leaves you searching for more. You will not want to miss this special evening as music will also be shared by Melanie Rose.
So many more events will be highlighted through the year. If you are an artist that would like to meet other likeminded creatives, please reach out on Facebook to Everything Art Upper Peninsula or email Sarah Rice at skrice66@yahoo.com.
