“Willits Glass Tangents”

January 7 – 29.
The dynamic glassworks of Kale Haschak and Jonah Ward. Opening Reception January 7th. Members Hour 6:00pm. All welcome at 7:00pm.

“Glass Tangents,” an art exhibition featuring the works of local Willits’ artists Jonah Ward and Kale Haschak. Both have been lifelong friends and will be displaying artwork that showcase their unique experiences and mutual love for glass.

“This show represents a pairing of two glass artists with such different styles in glass production resulting in an outstanding quality of work,” stated Gary Martin, curator of the art gallery at the WCA. “People should know about these guys!” Martin, who took over as gallery curator in August, explained how this show will be part of a new format they’re experimenting with at the space. “By limiting the shows to two artists who
complement each other, we hope to curate shows focusing on a wider range of art production.”

Martin also plans to incorporate a multimedia element into each show and has recruited documentary filmmaker, Al Rosen to film the artists in their studios. The edited footage will play in the gallery during the show, and on the center’s website. “The idea is to get an in-depth look
at the artists, their studios, and their method of producing art,” explained Martin. “It’s fascinating to watch and should be shared and enjoyed by everyone.”

The Willits Center for the Arts is located at 71 E. Commercial St.

The Willits Center for the arts is open Wednesday through Sunday 11:00 to 6pm. For more information call the gallery at 707-459-1726.
