Lutzick Snowdrift Arrays

In 2002, La Posada Project Manager Dan Lutzick moved into an abandoned, dilapidated department store in downtown Winslow. It had a painted advertisement for Snowdrift Perfect Shortening on its east exterior wall, so Dan renamed the building Snowdrift Art Space and began a twenty-three year effort to renovate the building and fill it with his artwork.

As his environment filled with art, Dan started grouping his sculptures into arrays. These arrays can take many forms and are organized and re-organized constantly within the space. This show at the Affeldt Mion Museum is composed of a series of arrays that have been specifically organized by Dan for this moment and space.

In 2006, Dan’s future wife Ann-Mary took a tour of the space, little knowing it would soon become her home. Together Dan and Ann-Mary continued filling the space with an ever-expanding community of art objects, many created from salvaged material from Dan’s various hotel renovation projects.

Materials and artwork evolved into groupings that Dan called “arrays,” which started to define a series of galleries within the space. Today, Snowdrift Art Space contains more than a dozen galleries that are occupied by hundreds of objects. It continues to evolve as Dan’s sculptures, drawing, paintings, and found objects are arranged and rearranged by the couple into new artistic patterns.

Lutzick Snowdrift Arrays will feature new work from Dan, in an engaging series of Arrays. The exhibit will run for one year (November 2025 – November 2026).
