2020 was a tough one for everyone, and we thought as soon as 2021 hit, we would all be waking up from a bad dream. Unfortunately, the pandemic continues… but it doesn’t have to lose all color! Which is why West and Main presents Art at the Market!
Come join us to have a quick to-go bite from Magasins (a local restaurant and small business owner), a beer from Prairie Artisan Ales (a local brewery), a chance to win a raffle by Prelude Coffee Roasters and Balance.Yoga.Barre, and best of all… beautiful art from local artists.
This month we will be hosting Scott Vo whose art you just have to see in person!
We give these artists a free space to display their unique pieces for the public to see. West and Main will give you direct contact to the artist, if you choose to purchase any pieces, and will not be taking any proceeds or commissions for any sales. This is our way to support our local artists, and bring color in a time that feels a little dark.
This will be an art walk style where you come in, view amazing art, grab some goodies and enjoy 8th Street Market for its amazing hybrid indoor/outdoor space for great conversation. We will require masks to follow COVID-19 guidelines.
Art at the Market will be hosted the first Friday of every month where we will display different local artists and always have yummy drinks, food and of course… beautiful art. We would love to see you!
About the Artist:
Scott Vo
Photography has always been a passion of mine when I was young. My father had a film camera and I would volunteer to take the pictures on my family outings.
I always wanted a camera for myself and always asked for one for any gift-giving occasion. I finally got one! I started with a tiny point-and-shoot I received for Christmas and fell in love with taking portraits.
I remember I had a crush on this girl and all I wanted was to take her portrait. Being a shy little boy, I managed to muster up my confidence and asked her if I can take a picture.
She said sure and I took a few simple photos of her. I was so excited and proud of myself! After the “photoshoot” was done, I tucked my camera into my backpack and went to lunch.
During lunch, all I could think about was going home to load the photos to the computer and practice editing. After lunch, I returned to the room. I was looking through my backpack to get my camera out so I can review the photos.
While my hopes were up, they quickly descended into that deep pit in my stomach. My camera was gone. Someone had stolen my precious camera and gone with it, my photos that I worked so hard to get.
I was heartbroken. I learned a valuable lesson that day. Granted, I was barely a teenager when this happened but I look back at that day and would say that was the moment I fell in love with photography.
I dabble in most mediums of art. Photography is by far my favorite medium. The photographs I capture are digital and film. I enjoy challenging myself with photography and that led into my underwater portrait series. The culinary arts is also a medium I enjoy. It’s the only art that nourishes. Beauty is all around us.
