Western Exhibitions is thrilled to present Folk Methods with Spatial Problems a group show curated by Shannon Rae Stratton featuring quilts and ceramics by Henry Crissman, Chris Edwards, Lauren Gregory, Virginia Rose Torrence. Folk Methods and Spatial Problems emerges from the experiences at Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency in Saugatuck, Michigan with four artists who co-teach in ceramics (Crissman and Torrence) and quilting (Edwards and Gregory) and continue the legacy of craft as a collaborative, communal endeavor where knowledge and skills are shared alongside the conversation and innovation that solidifies community. The show opens on Friday, June 13 with a public reception and runs through August 16. Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 6pm. * art pictured Lauren Gregory.
