Who remembers rotary phones? Come in this weekend Who remembers rotary phones? Come in this weekend and see the second in our Summer Spotlights exhibit series, 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 by artist @feralnifty ⠀ Don't delay, the show is only on until June 13! We're open this weekend, 11am-3pm ⠀ Clean in line, clever in function, the rotary phone remains a universal symbol of simplicity and connection. The impetus for Feral Nifty’s series 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘔𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 came from an overwhelming interest in the practical beauty of the iconic rotary phone and the central role it played in the stories that unite us. The shared voices that are so uniquely human. “Through the process of painting this series I realized there are actually two paintings for every one displayed. The first painting is carefully rendered on the easel, whilst what is on the other end of the line is left to be painted in the viewer’s imagination. It never takes form but rather is brought to life in the abstract.” – Feral Nifty ⠀ ------ This summer Arts Whistler shines a light on four talented artists from the Sea to Sky creative community – each with their own style and unique method of storytelling. ⠀ ⠀ 𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗥 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦:⠀Each solo show is on display for two weeks only! ◆ @jennarobinsonart - see the virtual tour ◆ @feralnifty - On now – June 13 ◆ @chief_ian_campbell - June 17 – 27 ◆ @mathias_horne - June 30 – July 11 ⠀ Find out more about the artists, discover the virtual tour, and see our hours of operations ➤ Link in bio We take safety seriously.
