Reception opens public art show in Tempe

Posted

Tempe Public Art will take visitors on a free behind-the-scenes look at the studio work of local artists on Tuesday, Feb. 7.

A reception marking the opening of a gallery show will be 6-7 p.m. at the Tempe Public Library and include an installation of photographs of the artists’ recently completed work for the city, according to a release.

Guests will meet the artists and pick up a limited edition Public Art pin. There will be refreshments.

The reception will be on the second-floor lobby with artwork on view on the first floor (Connections Cafe) and second floor.

On the first floor, "Outside In: From the Streets of Tempe to the Studio"  features work by artists who designed and painted artwork on three bicycle lockers and one utility box in Tempe.

On the second floor, visitors will view the studio work of five local artists presented alongside installation photographs of their completed fence art designs located at Indian Bend, Optimist, Selleh, Harelson and Scudder parks.

“Through these galleries, each artist provides a glimpse into their studio practice, revealing how their public artwork shares common themes and graphic styles to their two-dimensional works on canvas, cloth or wood,” the release stated.

The galleries will be open through the spring. The library is at 3500 S. Rural Road, Tempe.
