Trouble in Paradise - Skip Armstrong's Studio is Destroyed

The Nugget News (Image by The Nugget News) as well as a couple of other Central Oregon News outlets have reported that J Chester "Skip" Armstrong's studio caught fire this morning and was destroyed.  We spoke with Skip early this afternoon and offered to help in anyway and he stated that it was a total burn and his main studio was destroyed along with completed and work in progress sculptures.  Most if not all tools are gone.   Skip is on the look for industrial studio space and we'll keep an eye open for a perfect space.

We'll update this post as relevant information is provided.  For the complete Nugget News article please visit:  Fire consumes artist's shop

If you have information on studio / industrial space in the Sisters Area please contact us at:  Contact High Desert Gallery  and we'll pass on the information to Skip.

VOTE VOTE VOTE -- Oregon Art Beat

OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting) and Oregon Art Beat historically have done an excellent job at highlighting some of Oregon’s best and interesting artists.  Our Thursday evenings are typically structured around the 8PM TV program but we miss a few due to gallery and family commitments.

KC Cowen and Jeff Douglas of Oregon Art Beat do an excellent job interviewing and in the production.  If you are a viewer then you are aware of this excellent program.  Here’s your chance to vote for your favorite segments in years past and guide OPB on their summer schedule.

Browse the list and you notice many talented artists including some represented by High Desert Gallery including, J Chester (Skip) Armstrong, Paul Alan Bennett, Danae Bennett Miller, Cary Lathan Weigand, and Jerry Werner.  Other Central artists among many include Kate Aspen, The Americana Project, Donna Young, Dennis McGregor, Steve Allely and many others.
