While this is his first opportunity to exhibit to the public, several of his pieces already reside in the homes and offices of friends and families.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>James West Nelson: \u201cThis exhibit is a posthumous collaboration between my father and me. Each painting has been chosen for its potential to include wildlife or other objects of interest to \u2018spice up\u2019 his masterfully painted settings.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Justin Kloster: \u201cIn my collages, I attempt to break the connection between letters and a written message. In a world so heavily driven by direct visual communication, is it possible to break that connection?\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Omar Gonzalez: \u201cI love expressing myself by using radiant colors in many of my pieces. My art reflects my urban roots showing my love for the Hip Hop culture. I want people to understand that art can inspire and motivate through colors, messages or art pieces.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wendy McAleer: \u201cI think we all have times when the universe slows down, compresses to a single point and shows us something with utter clarity. I try to preserve that fleeting, vivid understanding as best I can so that it can be shared with others.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each artist received a $250 stipend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yakima Arts Commission, an advisory group appointed by the Yakima City Council, developed the Windows Alive! idea to harness the creativity of Central Washington artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a submission and evaluation process, the above artists were chosen to be part of the latest &#8220;Windows Alive!&#8221; exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spring\/Summer 2022 Windows Alive! exhibit will be on display through September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-85e17fff-fe2b-45f4-a160-1d38d486478a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/Windows-Alive-Spring-Summer-2022-News-Release.pdf\">Windows-Alive-Spring-Summer-2022-News-Release<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yakimawa.gov\/media\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/6\/files\/sites\/6\/Windows-Alive-Spring-Summer-2022-News-Release.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-85e17fff-fe2b-45f4-a160-1d38d486478a\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Windows Alive! art exhibit is now on display in Downtown Yakima.
