Walk on the Wild Side
The Wild Side Gallery
There is a new gallery in town and they celebrated the start of mud season with a new “black and white” show tonight. The gallery is the Wild Side gallery on Main Street in Frisco. It is in the historic little log and stone building that sits by itself in Frisco at about 6th Avenue and Main St. They have some wonderful work there, and you can find almost anything from jewelery to contemporary prints and assemblages to pots and plein aire oil paintings of the area. I also saw a great selection of photographs by some really good photographers, Bob Bloch and Rich Seeley among them.
Prices were very reasonable. All the work is done by local artists. I have been surprised at how many artists we have in Summit County and how good their work is! What a great way to decorate your ski condo or second home or to find gifts for friends.
Kris Lee, the owner of the gallery, is having different shows each month, with a hand made jewlery show coming up soon, plein aire (painting outside) in the fall, some kids events during the summer and a miniature show in November.

Friday night was an informal “Meet the Artists” gathering and I sent invitational emails out to everyone I could think of! The turnout was amazing and I believe everyone truely enjoyed meeting each other and seeing the kind of art work being done by artists living around here. I particularly enjoyed meeting fellow artists - people I had only heard of before but never had the chance to meet.
The range of work was particularly interesting, and Kris did a great job in putting this show together. She has a very imaginative way of displaying the artists work and I was amazed at how the various sytles complemented each other.
This show runs until April 30th and is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Be sure to get by there while you still can. This is a show - and a place - not to be missed!
