Come to the closing reception and last day to see Paint Night. What happens when artists go to paint night? As a means to return to the world after covid artists Sara Kaltwasser and Sarah McCann started going to paint nights. These 2021 & 2022 paint nights offered a low/no pressure space to create as they gained their footing again, and immersed in community in a fun and creative way. They then invited other artists to create all the same Paint Night paintings and exhibit them together. Consider this a painterly game of telephone! How will each person respond? Which artwork was chosen to riff off of or remix?
