There will be live music and drinks available for purchase by Last Spot (21+). VIGNETTE WONDERLAND is a group show featuring paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces. From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, humans love stories of dissatisfied heroes in new and magical contexts. Each scene in such tales traditionally functioned as a moral vignette with valuable lessons, but recent pop culture and art has taken the idea of wonderlands even further. Movies with this device include Nightmare Before Christmas, Spirited Away and Groundhog Day. Drawing inspiration from this modality, our show celebrates the transformative power of changing context. With the freedom of a magical premise, our artists have deployed everything from intricate linework to bold dashes of color. Even at their most fun, the artworks exhibit a sophisticated whimsy that is not without dichotomies. If you've ever had a wish come true in a weird way, or simply dream of extraordinary realms - VIGNETTE WONDERLAND is the show for you. We hope to see you there! | ||

Whether you're an art lover, nature enthusiast, or simply looking for inspiration, we hope "Garden of Resilience" will leave you feeling uplifted and empowered.

March 11 2023Gallery | FORTUNE & FATEDivergence Art Collective is pleased to present FORTUNE & FATE, an art show interrogating luck, destiny and providence hosted by Distinction Gallery. Do we control our futures? Are we the playthings or authors of fate? Can we rewrite our stars? Our artists confront all such questions and more this March, in a showcase of paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces. Some have thought about luck as a subject matter, an arbitrary force external to people, places and things. Others have catechized fate via material qualities, following in the footsteps of expressionism. While all of our members are professional artists with countless corporate clients, all works on show have been independently created - purely through the auspices of imagination. Luck is illustrated by different cultures in different ways, from shamrocks to horseshoes to koi. Though not all of our members trade in symbology, we have such a variety of origins that visitors are apt to experience a world tour of perspectives in a single show. Original artworks and limited edition prints will be available, the opening reception is March 11th 6-10pm. Divergence Art Collective was formed in 2022 with the aim of conducting themed group shows for collectors and artists. In a landscape of sameness and disposability, we value craftsmanship and the outr?. Our artists have a wide variety of inspirations, from pop culture to literature, folklore and the natural world. While we are all from different backgrounds, we share the idiom of visual art and believe in executing it to a standard worthy of the form. Visitors are provided with an experience of techniques, aesthetics and subjects as varied as ourselves. As a collective, we are focused on presenting themed shows with an atmosphere both unique and unified. The shows are carefully curated by the artists themselves. | ||
February 11 2023Gallery | Divergence Art Collective: "Love Letters" -Debut Show-Divergence Artist Collective is pleased to present our debut show, ?Love Letters? hosted by Distinction Gallery. Our artists have interpreted the theme of love in myriad ways, using materials such as oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media. Some have examined love as a subject, exploring attachments filial, romantic and platonic. Others have extrapolated an approach to workmanship, glorying in the subjective lens of romanticism. Whatever your experience of love may be, we hope you find something to relate to in the works on show.

December 10 2022Gallery | Feral FriendsDistinction is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition by uniquely talented artist Valency Genis with her solo show "Feral Friends". The opening reception with live music, open studios, and drinks for sale by Last Spot by Hidden Hive will be held on Sat December 10th from 6-10pm. Genis is an artist with a head full of never ending creatures, who displays her ability to bring these vivid imaginations to life with her amazing sculptures of fanciful hybrid animals. A whimsical menagerie of imaginary taxidermy creatures, her work continues to catch the eyes and hearts of fans across the globe and of all age groups. In her youth, she was utterly obsessed with television and video games, so it is ironic that a summer spent on Flathead Lake, Montana, in an electronics-free log cabin when she was 10 years old would change her life forever. Searching for diversions to alleviate her interminable boredom, she happened upon an old taxidermy shop. A dusty pair of "unborn beavers" caught her eye in the window display, and it forever imprinted on her naive adolescent mind. The stunning array of animals presented in the rustic store drew her in with their beauty, but she was bereaved by their demise. While studying for her BFA at the University of New Mexico, Valency discovered that she had the power to create creatures and control their aesthetics, while minimizing the tragedy associated with taxidermied animals. She takes an almost Dr. Frankenstein-like glee in crafting her unique animals, drawing on influences such as Tim Burton, Jim Henson, and Dr. Seuss. With close attention to detail, her bizarre creations are adorned with bright colors and bows, striking the perfect balance between humorous and grotesque. The exhibition will run from December 10 - January 2 | ||
