The Livingston Center for Art and Culture is proud to present Rooted - A Summer Botanical Exhibit. The show runs from July 15th through August 7th. Along with our co-curator, Lynda Sanders, the Center has created an exhibit full of floral whimsy and a bounty of botany, suitable for summertime in Montana.
A wide range of art styles and media are represented, from wood sculpture, mixed media, watercolor, leather work, wool felting, jewelry and so much more. Plants are immeasurably valuable to humans—without them we wouldn’t exist. They provide essential resources including food, shelter, medicine, oxygen generation and endless other things. In many societies plants contribute to cultural traditions, art and spiritual practices. But plants also add extraordinary beauty and vibrancy to landscapes; around our homes, in our cities and in natural settings. This is very evident in Montana, especially in the spring, summer and fall when plants are in their full glory.
From the plethora of color provided by spring flowers, the vibrant greens found along streams during the summer, to the turning leaves in the fall. Rooted is a celebration of plants and what they provide us. An artist reception will be held on Friday, July 25th, from 5:30 to 8 pm during the Livingston Art Walk.
The Center is located at 119 South Main Street in historic downtown Livingston. For more information contact the Center at (406) 222-5222 or visit http://www.livingstoncenter.org. We have a gallery blossoming with creativity. Come See!
