Selections from the Permanent Collection
Kerredge Gallery September 5-30, 2023
In 1998, the CCCAC’s Board of Directors made the commitment to establish a permanent collection. It started with the purchase of original watercolors by Barbara Cloutier and Edith Marshall when we produced Art in the Garden posters. Over the years our collection has grown out of the interest and generosity of individuals. Many of the works have been donated by collectors, the artists’ family members, or the artists themselves. Initially, our pursuit of building a permanent collection was about collecting art that depicted life here in this remote region and the mining history. The collection continues to grow and has expanded to represent the rich and diverse art of the region. This exhibition will include new works of art in the collection that have not been seen. |
Kerredge Gallery Exhibition: Studies
Drawings & Paintings by John Arnold October 5-31, 2023 Opening reception & gallery talk: Thursday, October 5 from 6-7:30pm This exhibition is an invitation to visit the intimate world of nature documentation. See through John Arnold's eyes, as he learns to see the incredible beauty of small birds and insects. Rendered in watercolor, graphite, colored pencil, and pen and ink, the drawings and paintings are presented not as finished works of art, rather like having the lucky opportunity to thumb through an artist-naturalist's sketchbook. A tour through John's various studies includes a degree in Biology and Art from University of Oregon, an Architecture license in Washington State where he practiced, a return to Oregon to study Historic Preservation, and ultimately a PhD in Industrial Heritage and Archeology from Michigan Tech. John, his wife, Emily and their dog Tikka spend a lot of time exploring the woods around the Keweenaw where they make their home. Join us for the Opening Reception and Gallery Talk on Thursday, October 5 from 6-7:30pm. |
