The Office of Cultural Affairs offers condolences to the families of two beloved artists whose work has been exhibited at City Gallery — silver artisan Kaminer Haislip and indigo artist Leigh Magar. Both were featured in our 2018 exhibition "Interwoven: The Art of Indigo & Silver," a celebration of craft, tradition, and the deep artistry they each brought to their work. Kaminer's exquisite silverwork and Leigh's breathtaking indigo creations left a lasting impression on all who experienced them. Their contributions to the arts community will not be forgotten.
