Exhibit soft opens to the public Friday, September 26, 10 am.
Richard Swanson maintains two studios–a pottery, for making utilitarian and sculptural vessels, and a warehouse space, where he works on multi-media sculpture for museum installations, landscape installations and dance collaborations. He resides in Helena, Montana–a mountain town of much sunshine and an atmosphere of support and encouragement for the arts. Since obtaining his MFA from the University of Montana in 1994, his work has been honored with several major grants and awards, including a Montana Art Council Individual Fellowship, Art Matters Foundation Individual Artist Fellowship, Helena Presents Individual Artist Grant and a New Forms: Regional Initiative Grant. His many large scale works have found permanent homes in the Northwest and beyond.
This exhibition was organized by Holter Museum of Art, Helena, MT and traveled under the auspices of Montana Art Gallery Directors Association (MAGDA).
