I never thought I would have the opportunity to band together with two artists I love and admire to form our own gallery, but that is exactly what has transpired. Back in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/2015\/10\/03\/compass-gallery-becomes-compass-gallery-cooperative\/\" target=\"_blank\">October<\/a>, I shared the news that a group of five artists had formed a new art gallery cooperative in Salem. We had decided we would give it a trial run from October through December to see if it was something we all wanted to do. Three decided not to go ahead with the gallery, but we gained a new member, leaving three of us with the gallery. Besides yours truly, I&#8217;ve partnered with Bonnie Hull and Tory Brokenshire and we&#8217;re signing the lease on the gallery space before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>We are already plotting and scheming for upcoming shows. In January it will be the three of us hanging our own art, plus the added bonus of each of us spending a week in the gallery creating art and being available to visit and share our process, techniques, and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Our January schedule is:<\/p>\n<p>January 13-16 Bonnie Hull will be stitching and drawing (and she invites people to bring their own projects and join her).<\/p>\n<p>January 20-23 Tory Brokenshire will be creating whimsical characters in polymer clay.<\/p>\n<p>January 27-30 Dayna Collins will be painting with her favorite mediums: oil, cold wax, and oil pigment sticks.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition begins January 11 and the artists will host a simple reception in the gallery on Thursday, January 14, 5:00-7:00 pm, as part of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theartstudiosatmissionmill\/\" target=\"_blank\"> The Art Studios at Mission Mill<\/a> Art After Dark. The second floor studios will be open and <a href=\"http:\/\/maxmarblesbookbinder.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Max Marbles<\/a>, bookbinder, will be in his first floor studio demonstrating a publishing technique. These events are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday-Saturday, 10:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm. The exhibition will be on view through February 3.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/December-2015-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6629\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6629 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/December-2015-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"December 2015 (2)\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>If you want to follow along on our upcoming activities, we have a Facebook page.
