Collective Works - Melting Pot
artEAST is pleased to announce MELTING POT, a new and exciting glass art exhibit.
The Melting Pot exhibit brings together the individual glass art of eight extraordinary
artists who regularly participate as members of Martin Blank's Hot Shop Team. UpFront
Gallery will have an opening night reception with the MELTING POT artists: Jordan
Brant, Jason Christian, Michael Church, Jon Harvey, J on Moreno, Amy Pruzan, Stephen
Vest and Laura Ward on June 6, from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.
MELTING POT exhibit curator
and artEAST member, Deby Harvey, is excited about showcasing the individual talents
of the artists. "The MELTING POT artists are an incredibly diverse group which has
the ability to come together to work as a team and bring any project to life, but
for this exhibit we wanted to provide a platform for their own original glass art
works, said Harvey. "We recognized the innovative talents and abilities of this
group and wanted to share their individual talents with our artEAST members and
the public through the MELTING POT exhibit," said Harvey.
"In the hot shop, each artist brings a distinctive flair and skill set and they
join together to create art through shared efforts," explained Laura Ward, participating
MELTING POT artist. "When we (hot shop artists) work on a project, we share our
ideas, experiences, connections and theories on art, as well as life," said Ward.
"Our collaboration can be seen in the finished art," she continued. "In MELTING
POT, we are excited for the opportunity to display our individual bodies of work
at the UpFront Gallery showing," said Ward. MELTING POT will coincide with the Issaquah
Art Walk which is held 5 times a year from May until September on the first Friday
of each month. Local and regional artists display their art in different venues
in downtown Issaquah. Patrons get a comprehensive map of the locations and go on
a self-guided tour of the artists and businesses. Citizens enjoy the array of local
talent Issaquah and the surrounding area has to offer and have made ArtWalk Issaquah
a preferred night out on their social calendars.
