SUMMARY:Brown Bag Lunch - MINE: Excavating Ecologies
DESCRIPTION:MINE: Excavating Ecologies – Brown Bag Presentation \nOpen AIR’s place-based Artist-in-Residence program connects artists from across disciplines with culturally\, historically\, and ecologically significant locations through partnerships across Montana. This fall\, we welcome artists Eric Jensen\, Lane Chapman\, and Manette Bradford to share their creative process and experiences during their recent residencies in the Upper Clark Fork region. \nJensen and Chapman completed residencies in partnership with the Clark Fork Coalition\, sharing a studio at the Cottonwood Field Station for close collaboration and creative exchange. Bradford’s residency took place at the Hungry Hill Art Center in Butte\, Montana\, a location deeply rooted in the region’s mining heritage. \nAbout the Artists \nManette Rene Bradford – Artist-in-Residence at Hungry Hill\nRaised in a family of visual artists\, Manette developed a deep understanding of craftsmanship and creative process from an early age.
