Alcove Artists — Many Mediums, One Collective
The Arts Depot is pleased to present a special group exhibition featuring the ALCOVE Artists Collaborative of Jay County, opening July 24.
The ALCOVE is an eclectic collective of regional creatives, including painters, ceramicists, fiber artists, illustrators, musicians, foodists, and more, who work together to promote their art, encourage creativity, and support the arts throughout the region. While centered in Jay County, the collaborative also includes artists from neighboring communities, including Adams County.
Known for their “Paint Ins, Paint Outs & Pop Ups” throughout the Portland area, ALCOVE artists bring a wide variety of styles, mediums, and creative perspectives together in one vibrant exhibit.
Visitors will have the opportunity to meet featured artists, explore original artwork, and purchase pieces throughout the exhibit. Complimentary food and beverages will be provided during the opening reception.
Join us for an evening celebrating regional creativity, artistic connection, and the wonderfully diverse spirit of local art.
