November Exhibition: Lindsay Godfrey

Birch Grove in Winter by Lindsay Godfrey

ArtSpot Presents: Lindsay Godfrey
Artist Reception on Friday, November 5th from 4-7 pm
ArtSpot Gallery inside Flicks

ArtSpot inside Flicks presents November’s artist Lindsay Godfrey. This exhibit will be showing through the month, from November 1st through November 29th. The opening reception will take place on Friday, November 5th from 4-7 pm; refreshments are provided.

This is Lindsay’s first solo exhibit with ArtSpot. Working with large as life canvas sizes, Lindsay’s use of vibrant color grabs the viewer’s attention, drawing them into the landscapes as if transported directly into the painting. Lindsay, a native of Montana, has been drawing and painting since she could first put a pencil in her hand, using them to broaden her perception of the world. Lindsay states, “I paint for personal expression and simply because it makes me happy. I want the joy that my artwork provides for myself to be realized by the viewer.” With nature as Lindsay’s inspiration she shares the following, “I love to manipulate the paint to imitate textures produced in nature and I am exploring the depiction of light. Natural luminosity fascinates me and in these pieces I have only begun to explore the perception of light on a flat surface.”

Support your local artists and art community by meeting with Lindsay Godfrey on Friday, November 5 from 4-7pm at Flicks and then taking part in the First Friday Art Walk, which includes an opening reception at Glasgow Goodkind Gallery from 5-9pm.

ArtSpot’s December show is a community show. This exhibit is open to all residents of Valley County.

Artists Reception for Jason Schakosky & Todd Mandeville

ArtSpot at Flicks

Friday, September 10, 2010

An Artist Reception at ArtSpot inside Flicks will be held on the second Friday of the month, September 10th from 4-7 pm for artists Jason Schakosky and Todd Mandeville. The reception is free, open to the public, and light snacks will be served.

Jason was raised in Glasgow and has been creating art since grade school. He says “I feel as though I am an acquired taste. I operate in that gray area where people tend to tread lightly, or avoid altogether. Where there is question or concern about things in my life, I welcome it with open arms. I am not a book to be judged but feel free to read me if you get a chance”.

Jason will be at the reception on Friday. Unfortunately, Todd will not be able to attend the opening on the 10th due to a scheduling conflict. However, we invite you to come down and see his artwork along with Jason’s.

Todd has lived in the Saco area his entire life and has only been painting for about five years. His paintings are extremely realistic and detail oriented. Those on display at ArtSpot are giclee prints. Todd has won several awards with his artwork from shows and exhibitions in Montana and Wyoming. Todd says “I continue to grow and learn from each and every painting that I do”.

Join us this Friday, August 6th from 4-7 pm for an artist reception for Lacey (Winderl) Lee. ArtSpot is located inside Flicks in downtown Glasgow. Light refreshments will be provided.

Lacey is from Glendive and tells ArtSpot that ”my interests in art are almost endless. I am still exploring to see what I do and don’t like and what I can and can’t do. In my art, I would like the viewer to experience the picture itself. For instance, many of my photography photos are close ups. When looking at one of them, I want the viewer to feel like they are in the picture, being that close, and enjoying the beauty of it”.

The art represented in this exhibition have a railroad theme and the work includes photographs and paintings in both acrylics and watercolors.

Upcoming shows at the ArtSpot Gallery inside Flicks include Jason Schakosky and Todd Mandeville (September), Loretta Doke and Mary Lou O’Dea (October), Lindsay Godfrey (November), and the Community Show in December.
