Watercolors & Waterways – Community Exhibition Opening

November 1, 2024 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Join us on Friday, November 1 from 5  – 7 p.m. for the community exhibition opening of Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River. This is a FREE community event.

The Green River is a major tributary of the Colorado River and runs through the states of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. Beginning in the Wind River Mountains, the Green River holds a special spot in the hearts of those living near the Colorado Plateau, where the river has carved a breathtaking landscape of canyons that have lush covering of greenery at their base. Tony Foster’s watercolor paintings, with notes, diaries, maps, and symbolic objects captures the majesty of this local landscape from its geological prehistory to the story of Native American and Western Settlement.

Tony Foster, the artist featured in Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River, will be in attendance at the event. Foster became fascinated with the 50-million-year-old Green River fossilized fish when he first saw them in 1985. It was from these small special objects that he comprised the idea to make a group of artworks about the Green River.

  • Presentation in the Cook Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. followed by a short Q&A from exhibition artist Tony Foster
  • Watercolor crafts
  • Tacos for purchase from Street Tacos
