Program Description

Event Details

Join mixed media collage artist John Andrew Dixon as he discusses his exhibit LITTER-ALLY KENTUCKY: Collage en plein air. Dixon's approach is distinctive because his landscapes are created from discarded paper, ruined publications, tissue, reclaimed tea bags, and even roadside litter.

LITTER-ALLY KENTUCKY will be on exhibit at the Library from July 26 until September 23.

John Andrew Dixon is a full-time fine artist, following an independent career as an award-winning design professional. He earned a degree in Graphic Design from the University of Cincinnati. After working in Brussels and Chicago, he co-founded a design firm with his wife and partner, Dana, and taught visual communication at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, before relocating to Kentucky in 1990. Dixon has been an active exhibitor for seventeen years and writes about his approach online at "The Collage Miniaturist". His artwork has been internationally recognized and is held in private collections from Alaska to Central Europe. He is a participant in Plein Air Artists of Central Kentucky and has a studio with presentation gallery in the heart of historic downtown Danville. In 2017, he was named an adjudicated member of the Kentucky Crafted Program, which is administered by the Kentucky Arts Council. The state arts agency has provided Kentucky Art Rescue grant funds to Dixon with federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
