John Anderson Exhibit at MRV Arts
2024-02-17 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-20 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-21 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-22 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Festival Gallery at Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street,, Waitsfield, 05673
What’s the big idea? As a freshman in college, my first grade on a paper was a D-
minus. When I spoke to the professor about my failure, he told me I knew the
material, the facts, but had no Big Idea. This was a huge lesson then and has
remained so ever since.
Concept, line and space drive the inquiry in my creative practice, both as an architect
and as an artist. In my work, both line and space are constructed to serve an imagined — even
irrational — beginning (The Big Idea). A conceptual narrative takes shape, a backstory
might develop, a fantasy or a metaphor might direct the path of the project. As I
proceed in my design process a kind of acceptance of a new reality starts to inform
me and a dialogue of choices and decisions take off.

Meier Skis Demo
2024-02-18 08:30 - 14:30 (America/New_York)
MEIER SKIS was grown from a passion for skiing in 2009 out of a small garage in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. We made our bones on being eco-friendly but never sacrificed for performance, and our award-winning skis are now shipped all over the world from our Craft Skiery near downtown Denver. We’re known for best in class materials, the highest quality craftsmanship, and stunning artwork that shows off the natural beauty of the wood. Utilizing high performance materials including locally harvested beetle kill pine, we’ve made the decision to move away from aspen towards American poplar and maple for increased durability and consistent supply as Meier grows into a global brand. Coupled with our extra thick base material and edges, we’re more confident than ever that our quality product will deliver more tunes and more turns over the life of the ski. Each pair of Meier skis is handcrafted by local talent in our Craft Skiery located in Denver, Colorado.
