Emily Grace King
emily@emilygraceking.com I am a full-service creative human, always looking for new things to learn and inventive ways to merge my talents into new industries and forms. I can often be found doing a handful of "jobs" at once: working as a visual designer for small businesses and institutions, making props for local theaters, installing gallery shows at the Arvada Center, teaching maker-space classes at the library, or (my favorite) spending hours in my backyard studio experimenting with new mediums to make inventive things of all sorts. All of these interests, venues, people, and experiences influence my art dramatically, and I prioritize keeping my time full of as many differing things as possible; it's how I stay the most driven and stay connected to my community. In the summer of 2016, I started Art Drop Arvada as a way to connect with other local artists and to give art to the community in a new, grassroots-style method. Art Drop Arvada hides 6-24 works of a single artist in a public space, leaving clues on social media for members of the community to follow on this epic art treasure hunt. |
