X-WR-CALDESC:Gallery Opening on First Friday\, October 4\, 5-8 PM \nGallery
  Opening is Free & Open to All \n\nThe ZACC is excited to present works by
  Morgan Legare and Monica Thompson\, Missoula Monster Project Art Teachers
 \, in the Blackfoot Communications Gallery this October\, with a public op
 ening on First Friday\, October 4 from 5-8 PM. \n\nABOUT THE ART: MORGAN L
 EGARE \nArt is intimate and powerful\; it can evoke emotions\, echo memori
 es\, share experiences\, speak truth\, and engage viewers. Valuing intimac
 y\, my work emulates fragility and familiarity. This intimacy invites view
 ers to personally interact and connect with the work. My work also offers 
 an opportunity to acknowledge details often overlooked or ignored. Explori
 ng themes of narration and neglect\, the work invokes contemplation. The a
 mbiguity of these narratives leaves viewers to reflect\; providing moments
  of responsibility and empathy. \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST: MORGAN LEGARE \nBorn
  and raised in Montana\, the surrounding landscapes and wildlife influence
  many of Legare’s early and current works. During early education\, Legare
  trained as a painter. During her Senior year at Billings Senior High Scho
 ol\, Legare became the youngest intern at the Yellowstone Art Museum in Bi
 llings\, MT. This experience aided Legare in developing her professional c
 areer and connection\; while giving her experience in museum and gallery w
 ork. \n\nLegare currently lives in Missoula\, MT and attends the Universit
 y of Montana. In her last academic year\, Legare will graduate with a Bach
 elor of Fine Arts and a K-12 Art Education Licensure with an Art History m
 inor. While studying at the University\, Legare has acquired new mediums a
 nd interdisciplinary techniques. Although she continues to develop her pai
 nting techniques\, Legare also explores sculpture as a new form of express
 ion. Her work discusses the theme of narrative relating to home and/or the
  natural world. \n\nLegare has participated in over 17 different exhibits 
 throughout Montana\, including Yellowstone Art Museum\, Billings\; Radius 
 Gallery\, Missoula\; Tereakedis Fine Art Gallery\, Billings\; and Universi
 ty Center Art Gallery\, Missoula. Legare previously worked as the Gallery 
 Supervisor at the University Center Art Gallery. Since graduating with her
  Bachelors of Fine Arts and Art Education from the University of Montana\,
  Legare currently works as a Visual Arts Specialist Educator in the Missou
 la County Area. Eventually\, Legare hopes to pursue a Master of Fine Arts.
  \n\nABOUT THE ART: MONICA THOMPSON \nIn my work\, I am striving for order
  while simultaneously compelled to create chaos- resulting in tension and 
 harmony between these two seemingly incongruous states of being. Inspired 
 by the purity and austerity of Japanese textile processes\, I look to deco
 nstruct and re-assemble these ideas to reflect my Midwestern upbringing. Al
 so at play is the inspiration I find in my current home of Montana and the 
 fauna found within. The result is a deliberate mismatch of themes punctuat
 ed by abundant color and rich pattern. Technically\, I use hand-dyed raw s
 ilk\, which is then often printed on\; purposefully choosing impractical l
 abors with the intention of instilling self-imposed purity in my process. 
 \n\nABOUT THE ARTIST: MONICA THOMPSON \nMonica Thompson lives and works in
  Missoula. She studied Fibers and Graphic Design at the University of Mich
 igan and Textiles at the Penland School of Crafts in Penland\, NC\, where 
 she was awarded the Edwina Bringle Scholarship for a student showing excel
 lence in textiles. She has exhibited in solo and juried group exhibitions 
 throughout Montana and the northwest\, including the Paris Gibson Museum o
 f Art\, and the Missoula Art Museum annual auction. Thompson teaches Eleme
 ntary art in the Missoula County Public Schools.
