Posted in Art, Ceramics, Event, Painting, Reception, Woodworking on October 13, 2018|

Ascendance by Connie McClaran

It’s cooler weather here in McCall and we are enjoying the crisp days in our cozy gallery on the lake. On November 3rd, we welcome guest artist wood sculptor Gary Peer, featured member artist photographer Connie McClaran and our newest member, bronze sculptor Allen Malaise. Gary’s spiritual and abstract-looking sculptures reference contemporary society’s decaying order in a medium admired through the ages for its warmth and beauty. Our featured member, spiritographer Connie McClaran, immerses herself in the beauty of American landscape in new black and white photographic works that will take your breath away. And to complement Connie’s work and our location on the shore of the Payette, outdoor enthusiast Allen Malaise adds imposing, motion-packed and fabulously detailed bronzes of Northwestern wildlife. You don’t want to miss any of this.

Meet all the artists and see the art at our First Saturday reception, November 3, 4-8 p.m., with music by Mike Rutledge, wine by Bistro 45 and appetizers.

When: Saturday, November 3, 4-8 pm.

Where: Gallery Fifty-Five, 311 E. Lake Street, McCall, Idaho

Art on the Lake, June 2

Posted in Art, Event, Painting, Reception on May 16, 2018|

Out Behind the Barn by Debbie Barnett

The gallery has new hours beginning Memorial Day weekend, 11-6, seven days a week! Come join us any day but especially for our first Saturday reception on June 2nd, 4-8 pm. It’s the best party in town. Enjoy new art by guest artist Debbie Barnett, fabulous appetizers, wine by Bistro 45 and music by Mike Rutledge at Gallery Fifty-Five, 311 East Lake Street, McCall, Idaho.

 

About Guest Artist Debbie Barnett: Debbie tells us, “I am a native Idahoan, life long rancher and life long artist. Although it isn’t uncommon for this to happen, my interests have intertwined in a way that I had not foreseen. Art and ranching have a lot in common. Both require fortitude and determination and nothing is static. Ranching provides the subject matter and the art is the medium I use to record the lifestyle. My subjects are often animals either wild or domestic and the landscapes I paint are usually the rural and wild settings that fuel the imaginations and hearts of many. Old trucks and tractors speak to a time that has come and gone. The characters and personalities of the people I meet also interest the artist in me.”
