With our community getting vaccinated and the COVID restrictions changing, the Box Factory for the Arts is hopeful to be hosting more and more events, workshops and gallery shows in the upcoming months. We just love the sight of people roaming our galleries on all three floors thanks to the MAAC 2021 Exhibition. But thanks is also due to several new tenants and studio artists in residence hosting workshops and classes.

Abstract Painting by Carr Pierce
A special mini gallery exhibit of paintings by Carr Pierce will also be displayed during the member show. The exhibit “Here and There” includes abstract paintings inspired by the landscape of Southwest Michigan. The paintings are memories and impressions of landscapes with flashes of saturated colors and fields of muted grays. The painted surfaces are worked with brushes, trowels, and other mark-making tools.
Carr Pierce is an artist whose practice includes painting, drawing, collage and ceramics. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Fine Arts. The recent transplant to Southwest Michigan has exhibited works in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Seattle, Kalamazoo and St. Joseph.
