The Massillon Museum will host a reception for artist Alison Alsup and her Studio M exhibition, "Prairies to Peaks: Biking to Colorado’s Tallest Mountain," on Saturday, March 18 from 1-3 p.m. The event is free.
"Prairies to Peaks" features watercolor paintings and pen, ink and graphite drawings recounting the artist’s 1,000-mile solo bicycle trip from Cleveland to a summer job, where she worked and lived on Mt. Elbert’s tallest peak in Colorado.
Alsup, born in Delaware, Ohio, is currently studying drawing and painting at the Cleveland Institute of Art, having also completed a semester abroad at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem.
A MassMusings podcast interview with the artist will be posted at www.MassillonMuseum.org on Tuesday, March 28 at noon. The exhibition will continue through April 2.
