Regional (and Post-Primary) reception on
Thursday, September 22, 2022, 5:30-8:30pm

The Creative Vision Factory held open house events during both receptions, just down the street from the gallery. The address is 617 N. Shipley Street.

ARTIST STATEMENT: I’m very excited to announce that my exhibition “Statecraft” will open @chriswhitegallery on September 9. This group of paintings has never been seen together in Delaware. My latest run of hangoutology doodles will also be on view in the lower level. These doodles on U.S. Capitol stationery mark my time through the early pandemic and serve as a meditation practice of sorts. The trance and ritual of these works hope to tap a magic propelling our civic imagination forward!

ABOUT MICHAEL KALMBACH: Michael is the founder of the Creative Vision Factory. The Creative Vision Factory fosters the creative potential of individuals on the behavioral health spectrum in a studio art environment that cultivates integration with the local community through a program of exhibitions, workshops, and communal workspace. The Creative Vision Factory is where individuals share their experience, strength, and hope. Their vision is a community free of stigma, where the creative vision of all individuals is valued. Click here to learn more about the Creative Vision Factory.

ABOUT FRANCISCO MADERA: Musician Francisco Madera will play a set from 6:30-7:30 during the reception of “Statecraft” on Friday, September 9. Francisco is an experimental ambient artist who creates ethereal soundscapes through synths and electric guitar. His work is an atmospheric interpretation of emotionally saturated events. He approaches his work as meditation.
