In today’s contemporary technologically fueled world, textile artists are finding new ways to work with traditional materials, creating a dialog with the past and reflecting the significance of contemporary culture on our lives today. This exhibition of contemporary fiber art showcases artists from Ohio and Pennsylvania. Artists include: Alyse C. Bernstein, Tony Bible, Terry Boyd, Pam George Valone, Lisa M. Haabestad, Carolyn Kohut, Lauren Manger, Malgorzata Mosiek, Mike Nold, Meg Prall, Jane Ogren, Michael Radyk, Carly M. Reed, Louise Silk, and Sarah Simmons. Interwoven States is juried by Joanne Arnett. Ms. Arnett is a textile artist living in northern Ohio. She spent most of her creative career in Germany and California, working as an artist and photographer, as well as in the fashion industry. Her personal work combines the practices of photography and textiles into a single discipline and explores the dualities of transience and permanence, public and private, the mundane and the extraordinary. She has shown regionally and nationally. She is currently represented by Gallerie Noir in Texas. Joanne received her BFA from California Design College and her MFA from Kent State University. She is an assistant professor at Kent State University. www.joannearnett.net Sweetwater would like to thank our Media Sponsor 91.3 WYEP and 90.5 WESA. 3 EXHIBITIONS Summer Solo Exhibition June 18 - August 5, 2016 Sweetwater will be presenting a solo exhibition in our gallery for eight weeks. The artist presenting will be from within a 200 mile radius of Pittsburgh, PA. We are excited to offer this opportunity to artists in our region and are looking forward to see who the artist will be that presents a solo exhibition. The artist will be announced on May 16th, 2016. Winter In The City by Ron Copeland REMix: Exhibition of artwork created with recycled materials August 20 – September 16, 2016 In today’s culture of abundance we are plagued with left overs and waste. As a society we create more garbage than any generation before us. And the question nags, what shall we do with all that stuff? ReMIX is an exhibition of art made from all that stuff, highlighting regional artists who create new works from items and materials that had a previous function. Their act of upcycling re-purposed materials is a kind of contemporary alchemy, transforming the seemingly worthless into objects worthy of our gaze. ReMIX is juried by Ron Copeland. Ron Copeland is a Pittsburgh based artist originally from Canton, OH. He considers himself a self-taught artist but his graphic design studies at Kent State are a clear influence on his work. He has become well known for radiant lamps made from recycled plexi-glass and assemblages constructed from discarded wood. His interests have focused on salvaging materials from abandoned spaces of the Rust Belt region. Taking fragments of what remains of houses or buildings he recreates the space of a life left behind. He has shown his work nationally and is represented by Borelli-Edwards Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA and Galerie F in Chicago, IL. www.roncopeland.tumblr.com 4 EVENTS ARTBREW Sweetwater Center for the Arts Art Brew Saturday, July 9, 2016 7:00-10:00 p.m. Last pour at 9:30 p.m. Ages 21+, including designated drivers.
