The Rediscovering
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Rediscovering, work by Shanah Leaf for the month of January.
Her show, The Rediscovering deals with the remembering and reclaiming of things that have been forgotten within one’s self. There is a constant rediscovering we must do within ourselves as we evolve and grow. We rediscover our power, purpose, and inner voice. The mixed media visuals and minority representation in her work deals with human identity and becoming.
We invite you to come experience this installation and enjoy two floors of open studios + galleries this First Friday from 5-8 pm, and all month during normal business hours.
HAMMERED
Cottonwood Center for the Arts is pleased to present Hammered, the work of Bret Christopher Poplos for the month of January.
Bret’s process focuses on the desire to create what is imagined, and what is beyond the expected. Several recurring subjects can be recognized, such as references to popular culture and media. Using provocative repetition, this becomes an investigation into the process of the viewers’ expectations.
The works produced are characterized by everyday objects and people in an atmosphere of abstraction in which recognition plays an important role. This allows Bret to focus on the idea of “imagined space” and more specifically on spaces where anyone or anything can be ambiguous or literal at any moment. The evolution of his process is highlighted by the materials used in the creation, turning everyday things into extraordinary ideas.
We invite you to come experience this installation and enjoy two floors of open studios + galleries this First Friday from 5-8 pm, and all month during normal business hours.

Sew Subversive
Throughout human history, textile creations have been perceived as more avocation than art form. Weaving, quilting, knitting, crocheting, and embroidery were primarily performed by women, dismissed as ‘decorative’ or ‘craft’, and therefore excluded from the canon of fine art until relatively recently. Contemporary gallery venues have begun to recognize thread, yarn, and fabric for their expressive power: as a medium for code writing in wartime, declaring personal history and autonomy in the face of slavery, “yarn bombing” urban blight with a rainbow of knits, purls, and stitches.
We asked artists: what can you say with fiber that you can’t say with other mediums?
This call for entries invited artists to submit works that feature textile techniques as an art medium. All styles/mediums were considered, as long as some type of filament (thread, yarn, wire, rope, etc.) was used in an intentional way.
