Join me for a conversation with Tim Kapustka owner of Studio & and artist Louisa Palmer to discuss the exciting events coming up this April and May.

Four Corners Arts Forum

Today I have two very talented guests joining me in the KDUR studios, artist Louisa Plamer and Tim Kapustka an owner of Studio & to talk about some of the exciting events happening at the Gallery in April and May. Studio & just celebrated their 15 year anniversary from March 15-22 with an exhibit titled “15” highlighting many of the shows they have done over the years supporting artists in our community and brining fresh perspectives to the local art scene. Louisa Palmer speaks about the upcoming exhibit in April, as an artist who will be featured along with Jenn Rawling and Miki Harder both local women artists in KINDRED “Celebrating our threads, interconnectedness and kin, nurturing seeds of inspiration, contemplation and action.” This show will run from April18-26 with the opening reception on Friday April 18 from 5-9pm. Louisa’s work bridges the realms of painting, illustration and linoleum block printing rooted in contemporary folk traditions deeply inspired by Slavic and Norse traditions.” She has created posters for music festivals in Oregon as well has having her work selected to represent the Durango Farmers Market in Durango. She has called Durango her home for three years and has already exhibited multiple times at Studio &. To see her work you can visit her website at www.louisaplamer.com or her Instagram @lou_pal. Also joining us is Tim Kapustka a founder of Studio & who is an artist and graphic designer and who will talk about an invitational exhibition curated by him called VISIONS OF JOHANNA based on a song by Bob Dylan. This is an idea that he has thought about for many years and finally the timing seems right. Each one of the 33 artists has received a line from the lyrics which will be the title of their artwork and can be created in a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, textile art and block printing creating a unique visual experience. The show will be hung in the order of the lyrics in the song and will run from May 9 thru 17 with an opening reception on Friday May 9 from 5-9pm.
