This week at Truckee Thursdays, our Truckee Big Life Artist will be two artist residents of Truckee Artist Lofts. The booth celebrates and highlights our creative community of Truckee Cultural District in collaboration with Truckee Arts Alliance and Truckee Public Arts Commission (TPAC). Stop by the booth, in front of the Train Depot, and meet artists Ana Remis and Anders Edwards for the first Truckee Thursdays of the year on June 22nd.
Truckee Artist Lofts (TAL) is a new mixed-use, affordable housing community for artists and the local workforce, located at the Truckee Railyard Project in downtown Truckee. The community includes 76 income-restricted rental apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, and ground floor commercial/retail space.
TAL is a place for creative individuals and households to live, work, learn and collaborate with one another. The building and units include features specifically designed for Truckee-area artists. TAL’s common areas include an Art Room, Band Room, laundry facilities, and an outdoor common terrace with a BBQ picnic area as well as on-site parking.
Ana Sofia Remis is a Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist working at the intersection of art, ecology, and education. Her murals, paintings, drawings, and prints focus mainly on the relationship between nature and society. Her work has been displayed in galleries from coast to coast. Ana has worked with various institutions as an educator and designer, and is currently in her third year teaching art in Truckee, CA. Commission, contact, and more at http://www.anasofiaremis.com.
Anders is a musician and artist from Truckee. His artistic process involves sampling both audio and visual materials. Once he finds a desirable collection, he then mixes the visual materials into collages and the audio clips into songs. Check out some of his work as Otto Nervous on Instagram or SoundCloud!
