QUIRk x milk river arts collaboration
milk river arts studio
through the month of august
On Friday, August 1st, celebrate the unveiling of FORGET ME NOT by Sheree Violet, a vibrant window exhibition on view at Milk River Arts. We invite you to experience this one-of-a-kind walk-up show bringing an extra bit of floral beauty to our corner of Broad Street.
“I am happiest when I'm making art. Drawing and painting are some of my favorite things. I look for colors that make my flowers POP just like they do in the garden.” - Sheree Violet
Be sure to also check out a collection work from Chris Milk on display in his studio window right next door! Pieces from both artists will be available for purchase through Quirk Gallery all month long!
MILK RIVER ARTS provides mentorship and resources that support adult artists with disabilities. In partnership with QUIRK, our studio celebrates the collaboration of artists with and without disabilities as a way to enrich our communities and expand our cultural conversations.
