Thrift Cooperative map from Human Empowered Arts Project

Posted on September 14, 2012 by Steve| Leave a comment

The Human Empowered Arts Project (HEAP Bozeman), a non-profit dedicated to creative and environmental education has launched The Thrift Cooperative Map. The virtual Google Map is now available on HEAP Bozeman’s website, and posters and filers now available at select locations.

Thrift Cooperative Map

The Thrift Cooperative is a group of locally owned thrift, pawn and consignment businesses that have committed to divert reusable items from our local landfill in the Gallatin Valley. With a campaign that is dedicated to the drive of “Think Before You Toss,” The Thrift Cooperative works to support the donation and selling of used items for reuse or repurpose. The Thrift Cooperative Map was designed to better demonstrate the simplicity of upcycling through the availability of local thrift stores in Bozeman. Participating stores include, ReThink Thrift, Sacks of Bozeman and Belgrade, Catwalk, Nu2U! Thrift and the Salvation Army Thrift Store. HEAP Bozeman hopes that the distribution of this map on the campus of Montana State University will help increase student awareness of the multitude of opportunities that upcycling has to offer.

HEAP is currently working on an art supply safety guide to be distributed to arts programs in the Gallatin Valley. Find more information at heapbozeman.org.

Monsters and Maidens: skirmishes in paint and paper by Noah Massey

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Steve| Leave a comment

tart presents a show of new work by Bozeman native Noah Massey. An exploration of cruelty in friendship and the at times dark underbelly of intimacy, Massey deftly weaves together innocent looking young girls, grotesque monsters, and lush roses to create an alternate world filled with both treachery and beauty. A graduate of Montana State University and University of Wisconsin Madison, Massey combines a remarkable talent for portraiture with a wild imagination and the ability to create prints, drawings and paintings as well as three dimensional sculptural work.

Opening reception Friday, September 14th from 5-8p.m. This is show is a collaboration with Nova Café, and work will hang simultaneously in both locations. A percentage of the proceeds will be donated to M.A.E.R.A., providing horse rescue and rehabilitation, as well as public education about equine issues. A closing reception will be held in Nova on Friday, October 12th from 5-8p.m. More information on the Nova exhibit at thenovacafe.com.

Kiln Dedication and Exhibition @ MSU

Posted on September 8, 2012 by Steve| Leave a comment

The Montana State University School of Art invites the public to join them in the dedication and celebration of a new experimental wood fire kiln at the Melvin Graduate Art Studios on Monday September 17 from 5pm-7pm. An informational exhibition about the wood-firing process will be on display in the Waller Yoblonsky Gallery, and will include examples of work produced in wood-fired kilns.

The Melvin Graduate Art Studios are located at 2998 West Lincoln Street (approach via W. Garfield St.) in Bozeman. This summer MSU Ceramic students finished building a new kiln designed by MSU graduate art student, David Peters. The design blends the positive traits of different kiln styles in order to create a new kiln design that has never been built, and is part of the International Wild Clay Research Project exploring alternative and sustainable fuels for firing, using both local wood sources and other potential fuels. The collaborative effort has included support from MSU’s School of Art, the Center for Bio Inspired Nano-Particles, the Archie Bray Foundation.
