“Art for me provides a window or mirror through which we connect our spirits.” ~ Artist Susan Hall
There’s a new art space in town: Intencións. Billed as an “intentional art gallery and studio,” the gallery will host a free grand opening cocktail reception at 5:30p.m., on Thursday, June 13th. Intencións is located at 160A West Broadway, at the corner of Millward.
The gallery’s first show features the art of Susan Hall; she will be in attendance that evening and joins the staff in inviting the public to “experience this new high vibrational studio, where art and crystal sound bowls resonate with inner beauty.”
The artist spent 27 years as a medical illustrator documenting more than 6,500 surgeries, notes Julie Kling, a partner in this new venture. Hall chronicled children suffering from congenital heart defects and her drawings helped and supported families by allowing them to understand clinical procedures. This exhibit features her Chakra series of Lotus flowers, AND work by local artist Lyndsey McCandless. McCandless is creating a fabric space that will “allow families to walk through the colors of the chakras in their bodies.”
Throughout the weekend there will be art and fun projects for the whole family, including free Crystal Sound Bowl Meditations, Music, the exhibits and Interactive Art Projects. The schedule of activities and events is in flux, so check in with Daniela Botur, at 646-853-3056 for full details. Namasté!

JUNE 10th is the deadline for artists to submit work to be considered for the Art Association’s “Best of Wyoming,” a juried, all-media-welcome, exhibition opening June 28th at the Art Association. The show’s jury is selecting works created in any medium, and the expectation is that this show will spotlight wonderful artists from across Wyoming; artists we may not be familiar with here in Jackson, but should be. It’s thrilling to see new talent, witness new impressions, hear voices otherwise hidden.
