Member Artist of the Month – Kim Sterling

Art Presence member artist Kim Sterling is April’s Member Artist of the Month. Straight from the heart, his work always evokes meaning and interesting conversations!

Of his art, Sterling says, “I have always loved the wide angle views of the great wide open. I sometimes try to capture the magnificence and feeling and beauty of it all by breaking it down its simple elegance of colors and shapes. There is a special nice feeling I get from being so small in such a large and beautiful world.”

Opening Reception is Saturday, April 1, from 1–4pm. Don’t be a fool and miss the opportunity to meet Kim and the other artists who will be there! Featuring She’s Gone Rogue – Kat’s fabulous sangrias for your enjoyment.

Artists on the Vine

April Main Gallery Exhibition

April at Art Presence Art Center celebrates the meaning of sense of place through art, word, and the vine. Filled with timeless experiences, memories, and distinctiveness, a sense of place is what draws people in, enhances emotional attachment, keeps people there, or has them coming back for more. In other words, it evokes a feeling that you want again and again.

The Main Gallery April/May exhibit celebrates Art Presence members with Artists on the Vine. This show will feature members’ artistic interpretations. Further, they fill a curated back wall of works that ‘entwine and vine well together’ since we have no guest exhibition in April.

Opening Reception is Saturday, April 1, from 1–3pm. Don’t be a fool and miss all the fun! Featuring She’s Gone Rogue – Kat’s fabulous sangrias for your enjoyment.
