Join us for the first Studio Night of the fall, proceeded by a private gallery reception at ArtsClub!
First, we’ll be transported to the desert landscape of the Southwest during a private exhibition viewing and afternoon tea in honor of the Can You See the Purple? show by Cydney Williams.
Cydney will speak to us about her process and her time spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico in residency from January to August 2022.
Then, stay on to learn about Georgia O’Keeffe & create your own paintings of flowers and bones against the desert sky.
You’ll learn about the inspiration behind O'Keeffe's work and create your own paintings of flowers and/ or cow skulls. Real flowers and props will be provided for inspiration.
Afternoon tea & artist talk back tickets include tea & scones. Full experience tickets also include the lesson, wine and art materials (including a 9x12 inch canvas). Coveralls/ smocks will be provided to protect your clothing.

More about the exhibit
Can You See the Purple? is an exhibition featuring work by Cydney Williams (b. 1994). Williams centers her work in the vitality of place and its importance in the present moment. Her use of landscape and topographical maps are an exploration of her time spent in Santa Fe, New Mexico in residency from January to August 2022.
Williams’ landscapes, often reduced to simplified suns, moons, and horizon lines, convey the power of the vast desert and highlight the parallels between the exploitation of Earth’s resources and women’s labor for generations. As she condenses these grand natural experiences into a few lines and shapes she represents the power of the striking vistas New Mexico offers into symbols relaying the impact of the divine feminine; their marks often overlooked, but their power remaining omnipresent.
