Join us for a pop up shop collaboration between Grey Goods Studio and Smart & Becker Creative on Saturday, Feb 4th!
Brooke Heuts is behind Grey Goods Studio, and her work is inspired by the power and beauty of the first mark on an unmarked surface -- preserving this ‘mark-making’ is a key part of her process. She hand screen-prints, dyes, paints, and use collages to create textiles and fill spaces with pattern, texture, and creativity. She'll have hand-dyed textiles and goods for the home.
Smart & Becker is driven by Ryan-Ashley Anderson's creative pursuits, including a jewelry collection, DIY workshops and instruction, and various artist collaborations. The core ethos for her jewelry collection is to create beautiful, wearable, functional, long-lasting accessories that are made with sustainability in mind. Currently, most of her work incorporates off-loom hand-stitched beadwork, mixed media textiles, and minimalist geometric shapes and patterns.
This collaboration brings together like design minds, soft, yet electric color palettes, and beautiful goods that offer both timeless beauty and sensible functionality.
Sound. Space. Growth. What happens when one singular voice, thought, or idea is multiplied and magnified? This exhibition explores the power and resonance of the female voice. Using the stereotypical feminine pink, these artists are changing the dynamic...turning up the VOLUME.

Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online (http://www.lightartdesign.com/shop/music) or by calling 919-942-7077.
“Our performance will be inspired by the Art in the moment. As improvising musicians, we will bring our unique vocabularies into spontaneous conversation with each other. Our sketches are alive in the moment, and then they are gone, transformed into memories for those present. Unlike the art works, the process of our musical dialog itself is the result. This is the joy of improvisational music.”
