Artists are often not that verbal.  This month, Upstream artists both show and tell about what inspires them and how it plays out in their work.  Having had the singular privilege of working directly with each artist, I can say unequivocally that this has been a revelatory process.  We have all learned something about each other, what stimulates us and how these influences directly impact our work.  I have had the great pleasure of being able to "see" the relationship between what my colleagues do and how our individual encounters with other artists affect who we are as people and as creators.  This show has inspired all of us, and we very much hope that you will find it equally fascinating as viewers.

Meet the artists, have a nibble and experience an impromptu discussion of what we mean when we say "Influence" at our opening reception Sunday March 1st from 2-5 pm.
