MERIDIAN, ID – On Tuesday, March 4, Meridian City Hall’s Initial Point Gallery will open a new art exhibit titled “Land Lines”, with a reception from 4:30 – 7:00 pm. The exhibit will feature artwork by three local artists and will remain on display through Friday, March 28, 2025. The show title “Land Lines” relates to the various artwork’s themes from powerlines present in Beth Trott’s watercolor landscapes, to the more symbolic lines of geographic boundaries and surveys present in Antonia Hedrick’s artwork.

Exhibiting artists:

• Beth Trott’s work in this exhibit originated though observations of breathtaking vistas and stunning skies amidst soaring powerlines that she first found distracting, but eventually she viewed as part of “an elegant balancing act. It struck me as a visual metaphor for the life we live in The West.”
• Antonia Hedrick is a geologist and illustrator. Part of her work surveys the shifting human boundaries on maps as ownership, westward expansion, and cultural exclusion. Other works explore the natural patterns of shadows and light, snow, talus, plants, outcrops, folds, and faults in Idaho.
• Artist Stephanie Inman uses wood, recycled materials, and salvaged metal to recreate little structures of silos, towers, and other buildings.

Initial Point Gallery is located at 33 E. Broadway Avenue on the third floor of Meridian City Hall in downtown Meridian. The gallery, which is curated by the Meridian Arts Commission, features a rotating series of art exhibits highlighting a variety of local, regional, and national artists. It is open weekdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding federal holidays. The gallery and Artist Reception is open to the public and free to attend.
