The Roots that Connect Us
We are honored to display the community art project of the beloved and now much-missed artist and arts advocate Patricia Clark. Rooted opens Saturday, November 20 at the High Desert Museum.
Rooted brings together more than 50 artists with a singular focus. Over 25 sessions, they gathered, a few at a time, to draw a root. The subject inspires in its strength, connectedness and ability to bring a community together.
After a celebrated career as Chair of the Art Department at California State University, Long Beach, Clark retired and brought her passion and advocacy to Bend. The master printmaker founded in 2007 Atelier 6000, or A6, a center for printmaking and book arts. Clark quickly endeared herself to the arts community as she continued her work in uniting and building support for the community. She passed away on November 16.
