From 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
Wild/LIFE is the Guild of Book Worker’s 11th traveling triennial exhibition and features approximately 50 works. In early 2020, members of the Guild were invited to interpret the theme of “wildlife” in any way they wished – literal or abstract, humorous or serious. The pandemic forced them to adapt to a changing social environment, new technologies and routines, and the challenge of limited access to materials, equipment, and colleagues. The resulting artwork communicates the artists’ interpretation of wildlife, from themes of comfort and reflection through reconnecting with the outdoors and depictions of the creatures and flora that call it home, to the application of wild in action and mindset, and experimenting with structure and unusual materials. Insight into the artists’ thoughts, design, and state of mind can be gleaned from quotes from the artists themselves that accompany each of the works exhibited.
Free and open to the public. Light refreshments.
