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…
I hope you can come and experience DANK in person. Dogs are welcome.
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.
