Faith Revell: Bird Dance

By

April 3 – May 31, 2015
Opening reception: Friday, April 3, 5-7 p.m.
Artist’s Workshop: May 30, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. ($30)

Lesser Yellowlegs 24x24Bird Dance presents a confluence of birds in motion. Artist Faith Revell’s drawings and paintings exude a strong kinesthetic quality, are often gestural in nature, and focus on movement. These images will be paired with selected artifacts from the Pratt Museum’s natural history collection, as well as video and audio of birds in motion. Explore birds in motion through a variety of perspectives in Bird Dance.

Join Faith on May 30 for “Gesture and Form in Nature.” This workshop, geared toward adult and young adult artists, will start with a field session of outdoor observation and gestural drawing. After lunch, students will return to the museum for a gallery talk, additional drawing of mounted birds, and then move to a workshop space for final projects. Workshop space is limited. Please visit the link above for more information, and call the front desk to register and reserve your place.

This exhibit is supported in part by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, Alaska State Council on the Arts, National Endowment for the Arts, and City of Homer.

Exhibit Planning Workshops

You are invited to join us for this important exhibit planning workshop! The Pratt Museum’s consulting exhibit planner and exhibit designer will be at the Museum sharing the preliminary exhibit plans for the new Pratt Museum. This is your opportunity to provide feedback and suggestions before we move to the next phase of development. We have scheduled two separate events so that as many community members as possible will be able to attend either one. The workshops will be: Friday, April 25, 5:30 – 7 pm and Saturday, April 25, 2 – 3:30 pm.

We hope you will have the opportunity to look over the following pdf documents before these workshops.

These comprise the focus of our conversation:

We look forward to your input!
