DOUG DACAR | ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

ANNEX STUDIO | DECEMBER 4 – 24, 2024

ARTIST STATMENT

I will be working with slabs and pieces of wet clay, paints and mediums which will be applied to the clay, creating prints. I will be taking clay out into the park and making some impressions from nature to see what develops when other materials are used for making prints. Whenever I’m creating, process and discoveries are as important as the created piece. I’m excited to work in a location where I plan on pushing my knowledge and experience with this process. Creating, discovery and play are valuable bonding skills we all have in common. I believe communities have more in common than differences and I see this as an opportunity to share in curious creating.

OPEN STUDIO | Saturday, December 7 from 1:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M.

Come meet Doug during open studio hours and learn more about his process and work. The open studio is happening as part of the the December 7th Holiday Happening. The galleries will be open for special holiday shopping experience with extra discounts for members and Open Museum at the Bush House Museum.
