Clearstory Gallery presents: A LIVE DRAW
Jeff Huston, Brittney Lyons, Scott Nicks, Jesse Pierpoint
Locked in a war with perfection, constantly landing on the “losing side”, living becomes the tension between wanting to be perfect and knowing you’ll always make mistakes. How then do we live? Jeff Huston, Brittney Lyons, Scott Nicks will document the role of failure LIVE. We invite you to join in as they team together and create a painting on site on opening night.
Opening will be Friday June 7. A Friday night destination, CHEF JESSE CLOTT will be preparing opening night hors d’oeuvres. 5:00 and 9:00pm. LIVE MUSIC: The RUSTICS
Here’s another preview:

What makes a person an artist and not a technician?

Their story. His.
And that illusive calling — that thing we were made to be.
Opening will be Friday February 1. A Friday night destination, come between 5:00 and 9:00pm. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres as only Clearstory can do. LIVE MUSIC featuring Curran Long!

Water—a life-sustaining element. Water—both force and danger. Held within its grand and fearsome metaphor are keys, both to physical life and spiritual transformation. Undercurrent and eddy; be challenged by the surprising quench and washing of water.
The exhibition includes oil paintings as well as mixed media and charcoal drawings with images that represent the movement and symbolism of water. Karen Mobley is a visual artist, poet, arts administrator and teacher. She lives in Spokane, Washington.
Opening will be Friday October 5. A Friday night destination, come between 5:00 and 9:00pm. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres as only Clearstory can do. LIVE MUSIC!

Casey Klahn paints strong, vibrant and emotive landscape and figure pieces variously in pastel, charcoal and graphite. Dynamic images, they offer vibrance and emotional renewal at the same time. Casey says, “I want my pictures to feel for you like nine months of rain, but with hope for tomorrow.” The goal isn’t illusion of space, but a balance of color and form, and a unity of ideas.
Opening will be Friday June 8. A Friday night destination, come between 5:00 and 9:00pm. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres as only Clearstory can do. LIVE MUSIC!

It’s funny how we live. Maybe it’s just me.
So full of answers, when what matters are the questions.
Like do I matter to the people in my neighborhood? In my
town? Do they matter to me? Should they?
Now ask the same things about those living halfway across
the world.
My short time in Ethiopia brought me face to face with
THE question: “Why are you here?”
I invite you to ask your own questions.

Habitual consumption finds its way into everyday life — causing a curious kind of liturgy.
Stefani Rossi explores these acts of petition, recollection, and utter devotion.
From coffee to chocolate, Rossi’s images at once entice and slightly disquiet. They offer a sensual paradox, inviting viewers to celebrate beauty, and then to realize the unlovely we would rather disregard.

Suwanee Lennon grew up as the only half-Thai child in a rural leprosy village of 300. The daughter of three successive “mothers”, Suwanee eventually came to the US and has become an award winning photographer. Recently, she returned to her village with her camera to bring twenty-first century visuals to a curable disease, to bring redemption to people still shunned. A Friday night destination, there will be live music and food, as only Clearstory can do, to complete Suwanee’s story.
