ART
Foothills Art Center has an interesting new exhibit. Charles E. Burchfield: A Resounding Roar features watercolor paintings displaying the artist’s love and appreciation of various sounds of daily life and the works he made in response. Early Burchfield works depict the sound of crickets as they chirp in the bushes around his childhood home. The resounding roar of a passing train or the delicate call of a bobolink could the inspiration for a series of works lasting decades. Later Burchfield works are inspired by his favorite composers Ludwig van Beethoven and Jean Sibelius. Visit the museum tonight for a special evening performance when Virtuosity dancers express Charles E. Burchfield’s work through dance. 6-8PM. Free to Foothills members. Regular admission for non-members. This exhibit is generously sponsored by Betsy A. Thorpe.
The Mountaineering Museum is hosting an art show tonight from 6-8PM. Join us for a rare opportunity to peruse original paintings by artist Fred Doar! Fred is fresh off an expedition to Everest basecamp. It is among the high remote peaks that Doar draws inspiration for his one of a kind art. This special collection features portraits of some of climbing’s most notable guides and pioneers including Melissa Arnot, Ueli Steck, and David Morton. One lucky person will go home with a Doar original after the event! Free. Snacks and drinks provided.
