WHAT'S MINE IS MINE
New Works by Beverly Fitzpatrick
Oct 29 - Nov 4

OPENING RECEPTION
Join us for the opening reception of Makeshift’s current resident artist, Beverly Fitzpatrick. Beverly uses collage, sculpture, and installation in an attempt to wryly articulate current socio-political anxieties. Through her characteristic mode of intricately crafted and surrealistic image-building, she skewers this contemporary theme with her familiar arsenal of cannibalized magazines, advertisements, and other appropriated imagery.

Step 1: Make a collage
Step 2: Hang it in the gallery
Step 3: Repeat

In honor of our current resident artist, Beverly Fitzpatrick, Makeshift invites you to come and collage with us for the night of Art Hop. Our gallery is between shows, so we challenge you to help fill it with some new work for the night.

Some communal collage materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own supplies or donate to the cause _ AKA scissors, glue, magazines, paper, etc.

See you Friday!

Makeshift is pleased to announce our next exhibition, Kalamazoo & Park, by artist-in-residence Colleen Woolpert. Using photography, video, and other site-specific interventions, Colleen investigates what she describes as, "the act of observation and the enormous possibilities of visual perception." Throughout her residency she has explored and responded to potential relationships between audiences, the space itself, and the second floor view surrounding the intersection of West Kalamazoo Ave. and North Park St. Please join us for her opening reception during the September Art Hop.

Exhibition Dates: September 9 - October 1

Join us for an open conversation with artist Lisa Walcott as she talks about her exhibit Drafts, which will be on view through Thursday, September 1st. Lisa's sculptural installations and shorthand drawings are the result of an intimate awareness of domestic environments and exchanges – they are an attempt to make the intangible tangible, if only for a moment.

Makeshift's will open its doors at 5:30 in case you haven't had a chance to see the show. This event is free and open to the public so spread the word and bring a friend.

Opening Reception: August 5, 5-9pm
Exhibition Dates: August 5 - September 4
