SUMMARY:In Aug the Liberty Gallery presents the art of John Thamm ~ "Portraits of Music Legends"
DESCRIPTION:In John’s words: “I love to paint portraits and chose musicians from my young adult years.  As I age\, loss and death of good friends is ever present.

All of the work is painted in oil on canvas.”     \nStop by the Historic Liberty Building this Aug to view John’s paintings ~ stop by First Friday Aug 7 to Meet the Artist 5-8pm.

SUMMARY:April Robinson is the PPP Guest Artist for July!
DESCRIPTION:April Robinson is a North Idaho-based artist whose work explores beauty\, identity\, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. After years spent in social work and ministry\, she returned to art as a place of healing-discovering in the creative process a sense of freedom\, presence\, and renewal. \nWorking in oils\, acrylic\, mixed media\, and glass mosaic\, April creates layered\, expressive pieces inspired by her travels\, relationships\, and inner life. Her work moves between realism and impression\, often infused with vibrant color and emotional depth. \nRooted in her belief that art speaks where words fall short\, April’s work is an invitation-to pause\, to feel\, and to reconnect with both the seen and unseen beauty within and around us. \nStop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building at 203 N. Washington St. from June 29th until July 25th to see April’s artwork; come by the shop from 5-8pm on Second Friday July 10th for a reception to meet the artist.

SUMMARY:Pepper and the Movement - High Tide Summer Tour w/ Guest Joe Samba
DESCRIPTION:“Kona Dub-Rock.” That’s how Pepper describes their blend of reggae\, alternative rock\, dub\, island rhythms\, and punk rock energy. It’s a sound that’s taken the trio from the Big Island of Hawaii — where vocalist/guitarist Kaleo Wassman\, vocalist/bassist Bret Bollinger\, and drummer Yesod Williams held their first band practice as teenagers in the late 1990s — to the upper reaches of Billboard’s Reggae Albums chart\, where 2019’s Local Motion peaked at Number 1.

SUMMARY:First Friday: Works by Kel Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Hoping to connect viewers with place\, Hudson’s work often grounds itself in moments and places the American people all share and are familiar with. She tends not to sketch or plan her pieces but will instead focus on tasks or locations that interest her and will observe them for months before any work is made. Kelley is a quiet and elusive creative that blossoms in reticent observation. She is a voyeur of the everyday and a lover of the seemingly mundane. Her forms are heavily influenced by the clean lines and soft aesthetics of the Nordics. Her pallet erupts from her upbringing in Southern California and the inevitable influences of the hispanic and asian cultures that enrich the area. Her subject matter is born of the community surrounding her and the deep and troubling socio-economic patterns currently inherent in 2020s America.

SUMMARY:April Robinson is the PPP Guest Artist for July!
DESCRIPTION:April Robinson is a North Idaho-based artist whose work explores beauty\, identity\, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit. After years spent in social work and ministry\, she returned to art as a place of healing-discovering in the creative process a sense of freedom\, presence\, and renewal. \nWorking in oils\, acrylic\, mixed media\, and glass mosaic\, April creates layered\, expressive pieces inspired by her travels\, relationships\, and inner life. Her work moves between realism and impression\, often infused with vibrant color and emotional depth. \nRooted in her belief that art speaks where words fall short\, April’s work is an invitation-to pause\, to feel\, and to reconnect with both the seen and unseen beauty within and around us. \nStop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building at 203 N. Washington St. from June 29th until July 25th to see April’s artwork; come by the shop from 5-8pm on Second Friday July 10th for a reception to meet the artist.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for "Bab Geuleus: 1. Rice Bowl 2. Means of Living"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception for this show\, plus meet artist Jennifer Seo! \nSHOW STATEMENT:\nThe word rice bowl in Korean (bab geuleus) functions as both a specific object and a figure of speech for livelihood\, and survival. In my work\, the bowl becomes a stand-in for what cultural memory is carried\, emptied\, and carefully protected in diasporic life. Meticulous craft disguises an understated humor that examines the tensions between preservation\, translation\, and disappearance. \n ARTIST STATEMENT:\nCommonplace objects embody a philosophy and culture that construct our lives. I recreate objects found from old family photographs as delicate paper sculptures. As I look through the photos\, I pick out common objects that those in the scene would have had the most interaction with. My making process is intentionally repetitive and careful. This meticulous labor elevates the handmade objects through the time and care spent producing it. The limiting characteristics of paper emphasize the replicated-ness of the realized object and I am interested in this preservation that deconstructs the original. I find the accessibility and fragility of paper very poetic. The handcrafted sculptures are a ritual of labor and time meant to carry the viewer beyond the immediate object to a thoughtful connecting point. These works are not about the objects\, but rather the time of the objects. Recreating these objects is a study of my family that I have always felt disconnected from\, but cherish. The ghostly visual of the sculptures produces a sense of preservation and loss. These sculptures are an exercise for locating my Korean American perspective. As I make the work\, I project myself into experiences I was not always present for. These objects are identifiably hand activated because I want the viewer to be able to recognize that action and insert themselves into an imagined scene with the work\, participating in my attempt to connect.
