New Exhibit Coming to Winslow Arizona
THE SNOWDRIFT ARRAY
DAN LUTZICK
The Snowdrift Array at Affeldt Mion Museum offers a slice of the Snowdrift Art Space experience in the Winslow Studio Artists Gallery, with interpretive material to give the viewer a glimpse at Snowdrift’s evolution.
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.
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.
