Rendezvous Art Exhibit in June & July
A Juried Exhibit of Wyoming Artists
May 30, 2018
Mystery Print Gallery in Pinedale, and Clay Paper Scissors Gallery in Cheyenne, Wyoming are partnering to bring the 2018 Edition of Rendezvous: A Juried Exhibit of Wyoming Artists to the State of Wyoming in June and July. Gallery owners David K. Klarén (Mystery Print Gallery), and Camellia El-Antably and Mark Vinich (Clay Paper Scissors Gallery) are interested in showcasing a broad spectrum of 2 and 3 dimensional styles and mediums from a diverse group of Wyoming visual artists with a more contemporary approach to their art making practice.
"Living in Wyoming, we are aware of the importance the fur trade played in opening up the west to exploration and eventually settlement. The rendezvous played an important role in the trade of beaver pelts and supplies, and allowed those who spent much of the year alone or in small groups trapping for furs, the opportunity to reconnect, exchange information, and tell tall tales. Within this context, the Rendezvous exhibit aims to be bring together the artworks of Wyoming artists through a juried format, allowing the artwork, artists, and art enthusiasts to rendezvous in Pinedale and Cheyenne during the summer of 2018."
For this exhibit, the gallerists are interested in providing a platform and showcase for often overlooked and under-represented artists working outside of the more traditional expressions widely seen and accepted throughout Wyoming.
This exhibit was chosen from a pool of over 100 entries. The 47 works included in this exhibit are representative of 29 artists from all across the great State of Wyoming. The works are exhibited simultaneously in two groupings, one each at Mystery Print Gallery in Pinedale, and Clay Paper Scissors Gallery in Cheyenne.
The first showing will open with an artist reception at Mystery Print Gallery on June 7th from 5-8 pm, and at Clay Paper Scissors Gallery on June 14th from 5-8pm. The exhibits will be on view through July 16th. In mid-July, the galleries will trade exhibits and re-open with a second artist reception to be announced.
This is a unique exhibition opportunity for the accepted artists, as their work is exhibited to the audiences of two dynamic communities at opposite sides of our State.
The gallerists deeply appreciate all of the artists who applied for the Rendezvous exhibit. They are extremely pleased to see such diversity and quality represented in the art works submitted.
