Opening Reception: July 25; 3-5pm
Central Washington has some extraordinarily talented
street artists, whose murals add color, verve, and sometimes a touch of whimsy, to our urban landscape. Street art has had an important impact on the contemporary art world, with figures like Keith Haring and Banksy achieving international acclaim for work that started out as freely offered public art. This exhibition celebrates our local street artists, featuring examples of their portable work as well as photographs of their outdoor murals in situ. Watch our social media for updates on additional programming involving the artists featured in the exhibition.
Exhibiting artists will include Fazer, Jason Clifton, Antonio Armas/All Out Kreations, ZEE, Chase Reiff, Erge, Juan Suarez, Rusty Shackleford, Siko1, Es, and many more!
Celebrating its 71st year at the Larson Gallery, the Central Washington Artists’ Exhibition showcases the most current and innovative artwork being produced in this region.
The juror this year is Jonathan Happ. Jonathan was born in Sterling, IL. He received a BFA from Iowa State University and an MFA from University of Washington.
