Riverviews Artspace presents “Riverviews Photography Invitational,” an exploration of the world through various lenses
On First Friday, July 5th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm Riverviews Artspace will present a fantastic photography exhibition featuring the work of Kathy Cudlin, James Ochieng, Susan Saandholland and Larry Taylor Jr. Curated collaboratively, their work examines the world from their own unique perspectives, showcasing a glimpse into each artists’ individual lives and stories. Throughout the night, these artists will deliver short artist’s talks about their work on display.
The four artists in the Riverviews Photography Invitational each move through the world creating a visual diary of their physical surroundings, their passionate interests, and their innermost thoughts. Of the images in this exhibit, some speak to the reverence for a homeland and its endangered species, others to the camaraderie of friends, the deep appreciation for the landscape, the implied stories of street photography, and experimentation with visual content as a metaphor for movement—in short, the visual experience, the passion to capture it, and a mindfulness that can speak to others.
Alongside the Main Gallery exhibition, the Emerging Artist Series Photography Invitational will feature four up-and-coming artists in Gallery 108.
All ages are invited to join local artist Jill Jensen in a free printmaking activity in Gallery 109 from 6-7:30PM. Participants will learn one of many existing printmaking techniques, and their successful prints will be exhibited alongside larger-than-life woodcut prints as a part of Riverviews’ upcoming Monstrous and Miniscule Exhibition.
Selah Vie will play live music throughout the night, beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase, and artists’ studios will be open to the public.
This event is free and open to the public, and donations are encouraged. The exhibitions will remain on view through August 16th, 2024. The galleries are open Wednesday through Friday, from 12::00 to 4:00 p.m.
