Vista Studios/Gallery 80808 20th Anniversary Exhibition
The co-op studio/gallery I was part of in Columbia is celebrating its 20th anniversary in November with a special exhibition of new works by most past and present members, including myself. The Exhibition will be an official part of the citys annual Vista Lights art celebration.
Vista Studios opened in August 1990 as an early project in revitalization efforts of the Congaree Vista. Vista Studios began as a joint venture of the Columbia Development Corporation and the South Carolina Arts Commission. It has matured along with the Vista into one of Columbia's (and South Carolina's) premier visual arts studios.
Here is a short history of Vista Studios/Gallery 80808. Pictures of the event are
here, including a couple of close-ups of my piece.
