INTRODUCING P.E.A.R., THE PACKAGING EXPRESS ARTIST IN RESIDENCY PROGRAM:
​
Founded 2023, P.E.A.R. is a new artist in residency program created by Packaging Express. It serves to provide space for an artist to work for free on a project that requires more space than they would normally have access to, and one with a finite deadline of 4-8 months. Interested artists submit an initial form to determine their eligibility. Each residency will then end with a closing reception so that the public may honor the artist and experience their work.
PLEASE JOIN US FOR OUR FIRST P.E.A.R. RECEPTION:
​
Mark your calendar for a very special event on Friday, April 14th, from 5-7 pm– it’s an art opening at a box factory! Enjoy refreshments as well as the chance to view Wendy Mike’s latest beautiful art installation before it goes to its final home at St. Francis Hospital Interquest. This reception will be held at Packaging Express, one of the last independent custom corrugated box manufacturers in Colorado, where Wendy has been creating this piece. The event also serves as the kickoff for a new artist in residence program, P.E.A.R., devised by Packaging Express owner Matt Davis and his wife Maggie.
