Quarto Exhibition Opens at FAR

The Facility for Arts Research invites the public to attend the opening reception of Quarto: Four Years of Artists’ Books by Resident Artists at the Small Craft Advisory Press. This exhibition showcases the work of Bridget Elmer, Allison Milham, Michelle Ray and AB Gorham, participants in the Small Craft Advisory Press Resident Artist program. The reception will feature an artist’s talk by AB Gorham about her recently completed artist’s book edition, Whipstock. Light refreshments will be served. The opening reception is on Wednesday, June 18, 7-9pm and the gallery talk will be at 8pm.

This summer, FAR welcomes three students to its ranks. Graduate intern, Keelie Wray, is working on creating a system for cataloging FAR’s materials collection. This new system will enable FAR staff to better document and share research. Volunteer, Landon Perkins, and intern, Alexis Buechler, will be assisting SCAP staff with a variety of activities including papermaking and the production of artists’ books.
