Erin Cunningham explains her process and how much of her work is based on found or family photographs, communicating with the past, paying homage to something physical that can be held.

Jodi Eichelberger's ST(r)EAM Artist Studio/Gallery bike tour in the Surel Mitchell Live-Work-Create District in Garden City, Idaho on June 18, 2016. The  artists and venues included Susan Madacsi, April VanDeGrift, Erin Cunningham, Ken McCall Studios, James & Matt Wilson of Red Valley Mandolins, Arin Arthur, Angie Bowling Sebolt, Belinda Isley, Matt Herberg, Lisa Roggenbuck and the Visual Arts Collective.

The April, May, and June tours were sellouts. Next tour is August. 

April VanDeGrift talks about this etched painting where she was responding from one line to the next rather than trying to control each line. 

Jodi Eichelberger and Susan Madacsi highlight some of Ken McCall's works in progress including his and other artists designs. In the background is a Matt Grover designed water sculpture that Ken is fabricating.

Matt Wilson shows his first mandolin, handcrafted by his father, for him when he was five. James Wilson (green shirt), owner of Garden City based Red Valley Mandolins, has been building mandolins and mandolin family instruments since 1996.

I've seen Lisa Roggenbuck's work previously but after her "art talk" I view it from a completely different perspective. Thanks Stream for continuing to help see the world in different ways.

Lisa Roggenbuck with her painting, "This Would Only be Absurd if They Were Breastfeeding" (2016, oil paint on stretched canvas, 48" x 30"). This painting was part of her Code of Social Behavior exhibit at the Visual Art Collective.

The always friendly folks at the VAC make it a nice place to wrap up a Stream tour.
