The DANK Inaugural, the group show inspired by the theme of "water" that Tyler Foote and I have been working on, opens this Friday, July 11 in Nevada City, California, 5 – 9 pm. As a collective, the ten artists decided to share only fragments of our works until after the opening. So, here are some sneak peeks…

The DANK Inaugural
300 Spring Street
Nevada City, CA 95959

Opening Reception: July 11, 2014, 5 – 9 pm.

DANK is an artists’ collective in Nevada City, California. It was founded in 2013 by ten artists interested in post-Great Recession social issues, the rural ideal, and an anti-urban aesthetic grounded in the legacy of the California Gold Rush.

The name DANK comes from the wet wood smell that permeates Nevada City, a town situated on the banks of Deer Creek. It’s also a nod to one of the area’s premier exports, cannabis. And it’s an acronym for Do Art Now Kids.

Members include: Celine Adrianna Negrete, Roseanne Burke, Sheila Cameron, Kathy Frey, Cynthia Levesque, Moira McLaughlin, Joe Meade, Nancy Nelson, Dylan Sherwood McConnell, Reinette Senum.

Show runs until August 3, 2014.
