Please join us in hearing from artist Christa Carleton on Wednesday, February 26th, at 4:30 PM in the ART Building, Room 158.
Christa Carleton received her BFA from Western Colorado University and MFA in Printmaking from Montana State University. She maintains her artistic practice on top of her full-time job as a screenprint technician at a textile printing business. Christa works regularly in screenprint and woodcut, but letterpress is where her loyalties lie. She says, “My dad was in the air force which meant that my family and I moved all over the nation and abroad throughout my childhood. I don’t identify with being from anywhere, but I have lived in Montana for the past 16 years now.” Her artwork is often exhibited nationally; most notably at the Missoula Art Museum in Missoula Montana, the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers Wisconsin, the Janet Turner Print Museum in Chico California, the Blockfort Gallery in Columbus Ohio, and the Haley Gallery at Hatch Show Print in Nashville Tennessee.
The artist talk and visit are made possible through the generous support of the Carmen Morton Christensen Endowment, the Department of Art & Art History, and the College of Fine Arts.
Parking information can be found by visiting the Gittins Gallery page.
