Tree bark sculpture artist, Becky Grismer, has been juried into two upcoming shows. Becky has been one of The Matthews’ gallery artists for the past couple of years.
Opening on June 1 (Lincoln, NE)
The first is called “Contemporary Indigeneity: The New Art of the Great Plains.” The show will be held at the Great Plains Art Museum in Lincoln, NE . The show will feature 40 original works of art. This exhibition, to open in June 1, 2014, includes individuals whose work expresses the texture of Native American life in the Great Plains today. Founded in 1980, the Great Plains Art Museum is home to a large collection of historical and contemporary works by Native North American artists. The Museum regularly hosts exhibitions that focus on contemporary Native identity as well as historical Native issues.
The sculpture that Becky has in this show, titled Woman of the Great Plains, is made with materials that were used by indigenous populations for containers, food and medicine. The materials were gathered from different locations throughout the Great Plains region. See image below. The show opens on June 1 and runs through July 27th, 2014. There is a reception on June 6th from 5-7 p.m.

Opening on June 6 (Anderson, IN)
Becky’s second juried show is called “Figures of Speech.” It will be held at The Anderson Center for the Arts in Anderson, Indiana. This competitive exhibition is focused on giving artists the opportunity to turn all the classic “Figures of Speech” (for example, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”) into works of fine art. Becky’s piece is titled, “Putting down roots.” (pictured below) This show runs from June 6th through August 15th, with a reception on June 6th from 6p to 8:30p.
