Artist-to-Artist begins
Confluence Gallery will launch a new artist networking/education program, “Artist to Artist,” on Saturday (Jan. 9) from 5 – 7 p.m. at Weagant Studios, 62 Old Twisp Highway. Each quarterly gathering will be hosted by a Methow Valley artist in their working studio. Resident artists will share something about themselves and their work at the free events. At the Saturday meeting, artist Rod Weagant will present an intimate look at his work space and his art process. Confluence artist in residence Perri Howard will also provide a short presentation. For more information, call 997‑2787.
