*Please note that the originally scheduled Art Past Present program for this week with Chelle Barbour has been postponed and a new date will be announced shortly
Join us for the sixth Art Past Present with Chelle Barbour–curator, writer, and multimedia artist. While her initial foray into the arts began in theatre, Chelle's work has expanded into a fully engaged art practice of curating, writing, photography, digital video, collage, and painting. Chelle's artwork has been presented in solo and group art exhibitions, including Wende Museum exhibits Transformations: Living Room -> Flea Market -> Museum -> Art and The Medea Insurrection: Radical Women Artists Behind the Iron Curtain.
