An artist reception and dance performance celebrating the works of Maren Stubenvoll. The art is installed at the RDE studios for dancers to draw inspiration and create choreography that is performed at the reception. The works will be on display and there is a casual performance experience with general admission seating. Performance pieces will feature choreography by Nico Hurley & Erin Levy. The studio will open at 6:30, and the choreography will be performed 3 times every 45 minutes starting at 7pm.

With an enduring fascination for the natural world and mountain communities, Maren’s work balances the significance and humor she finds in her mountain adventures. Through bold mixed media and acrylic paintings, she brings to life strong characters that reflect the complexity, humor, and humanity of Montanans. She aims to trade the violence depicted in traditional western art for a more whimsical, humorous, colorful, and idealized vision of what makes the wild west beautiful.
