We were honored to host this renowned painter from Massachusetts. With the help of funding from Bisbee Arts Council and Southern Arizona Community Foundation, Alan’s residency coincided with the annual 2019 Bisbee Plein Air Festival where he was one of our jurors. Although Alan paints a broad spectrum of location types, for his Bisbee residency, he was particularly interested in Lowell with its time warp of classic old cars, signage, architecture and the post industrial mining in the background.
