Emerging artist Audra Meckstroth’s exhibit “Backdrop” features elemental and contemporary landscapes, cityscapes, and street scenes from her life and travels. This collection includes digital art collages, acrylic paintings, and interactive digital media as vehicles to create shared memories between artist and viewer, and illustrates how much of who we are comes from the spaces we craft around us. Our backdrop, our mise-en-scène.

“When I’m in these places, I think of the people that live, travel, and work here. These are people I’ll never meet or even see, but I feel like I know them by the spaces they create,” Says Meckstroth. “A vestige of them remains in the architecture and artifacts all around.”

“Backdrop” is free and open to the public weekends from April 2-May 1, 2022. An opening reception will be held at Workhouse Arts Center’s Second Saturday Art Walk on April 9.
