Revealed: New Works by Christina Prestidge

On Friday, November 30th from 5:30-7:30 PM, the Gladstone Arts Commission will host an art opening for new works by Christina Prestidge at the Gladstone Community Center, located at 6901 N. Holmes. Kansas City based visual artist Christina Prestidge utilizes fiber, painting, and sculpting techniques to create her unique works of art. Prestidge uses mostly translucent materials, Mylar and mono-filament, which are painted and dipped in acrylics to create her captivating works. By taking painting not only outside the restrictions of the canvas, but into the detailed realm of crocheting, knitting, knotting, and basket weaving, Prestidge has been able to create a unique language that is all her own. Christina has twice been awarded with a prestigious studio residency from Charlotte Street Foundation’s Urban Culture Project. The Arts Commission is thrilled to bring her exciting body of work to the Gladstone Community Center.
