Sheila Miles: Nowhere & Everywhere Exhibition Opening Reception

Sheila Miles: Nowhere & Everywhere

April 5 – May 25, 2024

Opening Reception Friday, April 5, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM during ArtWalk with small culinary bites by Chef Ashley Woodward. 

Kirks’ Grocery proudly presents Sheila Miles: Nowhere & Everywhere, showcasing her recent work. This exhibition is about making art as a sustained creative journey. The places she paints are transitory and “nowhere.” Through painting, she gives those places meaning; they become permanent and “everything”.

“Wherever you end up is the “everywhere,” and in making art, everything.” Sheila Miles

Sheila Miles currently resides in Arizona. Her life and artistic practice are continually influenced by her 26 years living in Montana. 

Sheila Miles will be at the opening reception.

Jason Jam Horizon Exhibition Opening & Reception

This exhibition will feature the work of Jason Jam from April 5 – May 25, 2024
Opening Reception Friday, April 5, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, during Billings ArtWalk.
Kirks’ Grocery is proud to present Horizon, an exhibition of new work in pencil, gouache, and watercolor by Jason Jam. Jam’s recent work in pencil uses subtle value shifts to create images of wonder and mystery. Millions of carefully arranged soft pencil marks have gone into these unusual images which take dozens of hours to create. Horizon also reveals Jam’s newest colorful landscapes. The artist has used unconventional tools and quick brush strokes to apply vibrant gouache over layered washes of rich watercolor. The effect is to draw the viewer into his world. Truly a sight to behold.
