It’s a busy month in April for M.R. Hyde, also known as ReeAnn Hyde, who is thriving this spring with several events and shows:
Cottonwood Center for the Arts Friday, April 5, 5-8 pm be one of the first to see her latest work in this juried exhibition for the month of April featuring works in response to an open call to the public: OMISSION.
Negative space in a work of art is the space around and between the focus of the piece. That space has a form. For this call, artists were asked to create works that celebrate the value and import of negative space, to examine quiet empty elements and elevate them to primary subject matter.
It’s National Poetry Month! Art Aloud 2025 celebrates this in live written works readings and artwork by local artists and poets. Art Aloud is featured at four locations throughout this month. Hyde’s work will be shown with poems related to each piece. You can also hear her read poetry at these specific locations and times.
