A Celebration of Our New Exhibition - 30 Years Behind the Easel
Thoreau Gallery, Thoreau Center for Sustainability
Thursday, August 18, 5:00 to 7:00
Exhibition dates: August 18 through October 14, 2011
30 Years Behind the Easel is an exhibition by two local artists: Cynda Valle and Robert Brokl. The show documents the evolution of their craft over time and the persistence of their vision as they grapple with day jobs, the emotional needs of family, and the many ways life, in general, conspires to prevent most artists from making art all together. As economic hardships persist, nonprofits and agencies that might otherwise support artists instead strive to plug the rent “safety net,” and governmental programs like the New Deal's WPA are lacking. Artistic sustainability over time is a challenging business — and noteworthy when it succeeds. Cynda and Bob believe having fellow travellers helps.
