The most recent exhibit to grace the Cannon Art Gallery is a collaborative project showcasing artists who attended the Whiteaker Printmakers\u2019 BIG INK workshop in Eugene, Oregon. This show will run from Jan. 11 through Feb. 10, 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n

BIG INK, founded by Lyell Castonguay and Carand Burnet, began as a small organization teaching the art of printmaking. However, as demand grew, BIG INK was able to fund a transportable press \u2014 a feat once deemed impossible and impractical \u2014 and now travels across the country creating an outlet for creativity. <\/span><\/p>\n

The artists who collabed with BIG INK for the Cannon Art showcase include Eric Fry, Bets Cole, Keith Van Norman, Richard Harrington, Priscilla Montoya, Stephanie Juanillo, Jenna Phillpot, Robert Sumner, Sandi Bonn, Gale Everett, Cory Olsen, Jessica Billey, Erik Sandgren, Tedd Anderson, Joy Kloman and Beth Howe.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many pieces for the show that they are split between the second floor of the Hamersly Library and the Cannon Art Gallery. The pieces in the Cannon Art Gallery can only be viewed from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., but the pieces in the Hamersly Library can be viewed during regular operating hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

The prints in the Cannon Art Gallery are the main event. Pieces by Keith Van Norman and Jessica Billey lie against the right wall of the gallery. The prints \u201cWhat\u2019s so amazing that keeps us stargazing\u201d and \u201cThe Tree\u201d are a true inspiration to the viewer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directly across from the main entrance, pieces by Erik Sandgren perfectly sweep the viewers\u2019 eyes around the room with their intricate yet freeform designs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, on the wall directly to the viewers\u2019 lefts, are prints titled \u201cZona Rossa,\u201d \u201cZebra with Oxpeckers (Maasai Mara, Kenya),\u201d \u201cWhere the Crawdads Sing,\u201d \u201cA Fish Out of Water,\u201d \u201cLoon,\u201d \u201cThe Bicycle\u201d and \u201cSolidarity.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the prints are available for purchase, so if interested, be sure to check them out. Supporting local artists is more important now than ever. <\/span><\/p>\n

Of course one does not have to be interested in purchasing the art pieces in order to view them, so be sure to pay a visit and check out these talented artists before they are gone.<\/span><\/p>\n
