AKIN – Open First Friday

GearBox Gallery presents AKIN: of similar nature or character, related by blood, an exhibition of sculpture and drawings by Joan Tanner and painting by Jamie Treacy. These artists share a connection as great-aunt and grand-nephew with a long running dialogue about their art practices. Tanner was an early influence on Treacy’s decision to become an artist, and after he moved to California in 2004 their discourse about the practice of art increased. Now exhibiting together for the first time, this show begins by looking at the role of bravery in the life of the artist and how kinship can shore up one’s boldness.

Artist talk: Saturday, April 8, 2pm
Gallery Hours: Thursdays-Saturdays, 12-5 pm and First Fridays, 5-8 pm
