ON the Walls

The latest body of work from Holli Harmon, To Feast on Clouds, currently on view at Sullivan Goss through September 24, is absolutely stunning. Inspired in part by her artist residency at White Buffalo Land Trust, Harmon said that the show tells a story about how closely our food is tied to our environment. “For me, art can engage our sensibilities and rationalizations in different ways, so that we can open ourselves to new ideas, even if they are hiding in what we think we know. “ The work includes 89 cloudscapes on silverware and Farmer’s Almanac pages from the 1800s make this a novel exhibition. Don’t miss it.

A unique fine art show with a western flair, the 13th annual SLOPOKE Art of the West Show comes to Flag Is Up Farms in Solvang September 22-24. Renowned artist Peter Adams is the featured guest artist and juror for the event. Click here to see my story about last year’s show, and click here for more information about the 2023 edition.
