Event: June 16th 6pm - 9pm

This month's Bal-art opening features the work of local illustrators Stieg Retlin and Valerie Niemeyer.

Stieg Retlin (they/them) explores themes of community and isolation, unity and despair, harmony and discord, and understanding and confusion, across various mediums. They grew up in New Jersey, received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

Valerie Niemeyer (she/her) brings to life the flowers and animals that hide in our backyards and the forests around us. "I love the challenge of blending reality and natural observation with cozy storytelling.”
