Mainframe Studio exhibition features artists from Grinnell, Iowa - The Scarlet & Black

Chhayachhay Chhom of the Scarlet & Black highlighted the impact of October’s First Friday third floor gallery exhibition featuring the works of Grinnell Artists. Mainframe Studios collaborated with the Grinnell Area Arts Council to feature 16 artists.

A wide variety of mediums, and life experiences were represented. Many of the Grinnell artists balance their creative work with other professions.

“There’s a lot of people who are doing really great work out in rural Iowa, and this was a perfect opportunity to be able to show that off in the big city,” said Monica St. Angelo, executive director of the Grinnell Area Arts Council. This special section on the studio’s third floor aims to allow rural creativity to reach a city audience and to better connect rural artists with the broader Iowan art scene. “More people go through Mainframe Studios on a First Friday than might visit our gallery in a whole year,” said St. Angelo.”
