Opening Reception for The Way Home Paintings in Oil by Cherlyn Wilcox
There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. -Josephine Hart
The Way Home is a choreography of personal mapping, and a celebration of the West's cartography mixed within a geography of imagination. By exploring emotionally subjective connections to the local environment, Cherlyn invites the viewer to take their own route when viewing the pieces, from the context of their own experiences. The exhibit will be on display through March 11th, 2010.

The opening reception will be held in conjunction with tart’s 3 year birthday party. The birthday party will include a photo booth with Jessie Moore Photography, hula hooping, prizes, tarttoos, and more. Tarty apparel is both encouraged and rewarded.

Qwerty Love: A Font Affair
Drawings and Paintings by Annie Bailey
Opening Reception: Friday, December 11th 5-8pm
Tartist Annie Bailey explores her love of font and text in an exhibit of new work. Sketches of vintage typewriters (some with customizable messages) share space with drawings of old grain elevators, signs and other Montana classic images, all rendered in Bailey’s clean, modern style. A Montana native, Bailey grew up on a ranch and draws inspiration from the things that surrounded her in childhood. Grain elevators, signs from small town businesses long gone, old billboards, and the typewriter she inherited from her grandmother all draw her eye with words rendered into art. Currently studying architecture at Montana State University, Bailey’s drawings also reference her love of line, form and structure.
The show will be on display December 11th 2009 through February 11th 2010.
