Boneyard Arts Festival Gallery Opening

The art gallery featuring Gertie Bakalus is located in Horizon Climbing’s front lobby! Following our opening reception on April 11th at 6pm, guests are welcome to rock climb at half price ($10 per person). Further inside the gym, you can enjoy our mural artwork by Leslie Kimble. Our climbing gym welcomes adults and kids of all ages!

Gertie Bakalus: The featured artist works with recycled fabrics and clothing rescued from the landfill, using appliqué quilting techniques to explore landscapes and places. The pieces are crafted through a collage-like process of cutting, layering, and stitching fabric, using simple shapes and materials with varied patterns. Shapes, colors, textures, and stitches create depth and movement, translating familiar environments into layered, tactile compositions.

Leslie Kimble: Leslie has two semi-permanent works of art in Horizon Climbing. Her colorful window painting can be enjoyed from both outside and inside the gym. Further inside, her stunning sunrise mural adds warmth and beauty to the space.

There is no admission fee for the opening reception or to enjoy the gallery in our front lobby. If you would like to climb following the opening reception, it will be $10 per person.
