Things are heating up and there ain’t nobody hibernating this winter at the Schmutz Lodge. As the Distillery 4 artists wrap up their installations things are starting to look really cool and a bit messy. Messy is alright though because the show is going to be amazing. Over the next two weeks the mess will give way to a collection of amazing art from some truly talented folks.
Feb 5th – the lodge will be transformed by these 8 amazing artists. You’d never know that at one time their residency was nearly taken from them when the Brew House closed.
They managed to pull together a body of work that should not be missed and with the help of the absolutely amazing Rose Clancy who is curating this show they’ll be exhibiting their work for the entire month with a closing on March 5th.
We are seeing a great deal of excitement build for the show too. As I write this the Facebook event listing says there are nearly 100 “maybe attending” and 55 confirmed as attending. All of that just from Facebook invites – they’ve not even started to pass out flyers yet! There are also a number of blogs that have started to write about the show and more write ups are expected to come soon.
Members of the media and the general public are encouraged to get in touch with the Schmutz Company or Rose Clancy to discuss a private viewing if you are unable to attend the opening.
The Distillery artists have been a dream to work with plus they gifted us some freshly painted walls that have helped to add unique character to the Lodge. They’ve given us some great ideas as well for some different ways to treat some of the spaces that we have at our disposal here at the Lodge.
Once again if you can’t make the show on Feb. 5th be sure to contact us or one of the members of the Distillery program to set up a time to come see the exhibit.
