This Friday June 6th - 6-9pm

PLAY DEAD by Lee Ann Conlan

Friday June 6th - 6 -9pm.
18+/ 21 to drink
Gateway Lofts
1719 Grand Ave -Des Moines, IA

The First Friday in June, Cityview's Best Des Moines Artist (2006, 2007, 2008) shows new work at this one night only reception. On display will be a recent collection of various sketches, paintings, mixed media and video. Experience live figure drawing by Lee Ann, live music from Oh Possum and DJ Solarz. Light hors d'oeuvres and wine will be served.

Lee Ann Conlan, a Des Moines native, studied at Rhode Island School of Design and in Florence Italy. She graduated from Drake University with a BFA in 1997. Lee Ann taught at the Des Moines Art Center before becoming a full-time self employed artist.

In her most recent work, Lee Ann takes a voyeuristic look into the personal spaces of her surroundings and her life. She conjures up the quiet moments, blissful emotions and dark secrets of her subjects that would be revealed under the watchful stare of a silent and motionless observer.

How was this? If I didn't have to work I would've come out. It looked kind of cool.

It was good. Good Art, music, free booze, free food, and naked women. Unbeatable combination.

Fuckin' A...and here I was impressed by that show a few weeks ago in Cedar Falls where they had a root beer keg. The best we can get around here is Katie Fleming's boobs.
