The R Gallery at Arlene’s is proud to present The Creative February 2025 Show, a juried group exhibition celebrating the vibrant legacy of Creative February. Featuring award-winning artist Takeyce Walter alongside selected artists from the 2025 Creative February challenge, this exhibition highlights the transformative power of daily artistic practice.What began in 2014 as a personal commitment by Walter—to create one painting every day throughout the month of February—has grown into a dynamic and inspiring movement that encourages artists across the nation to engage in daily creation, share their work, and connect with a broader creative community. Each year, artists rise to the challenge, pushing the boundaries of their practice and cultivating discipline, joy, and discovery through art.
Curated and juried by Takeyce Walter, this exhibition is both a celebration and culmination of that dedication, showcasing an impressive range of mediums, styles, and interpretations. Other featured artists include Sarah Blakeman, Claudia Dean, Maria DeAngelo, Gabriella Gabriel Dillmann, Kate Edwards, Ashlee Guiles, Ottavia Huang (Artist in Residence), Roya Jenner, Kathy Klompas, Nancy Lyons, Sherri L. Mackey, Meagan Mason, Caroline Love Miller, Kathleen Nelson, Pamela Stendardi, Kelly Jean Smith, MrTwogoobs, and Rebecca Zeh.
The Creative February 2025 Show offers viewers a glimpse into the collective spirit and creativity that emerges when artists commit to showing up for their work every single day. This exhibition is not just about finished pieces—it’s about process, exploration, and the remarkable results of consistency and community support.
Takeyce Walter is an award-winning contemporary painter, art instructor, and media producer based in upstate New York. Working in oil, gouache, and pastel, her serene and intimate landscapes reflect her profound connection to the natural world. Beyond her own studio practice, Walter is a dedicated arts advocate. She founded Art and the Environment in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and Black Dimensions in Art, offering youth the opportunity to engage in environmental stewardship through plein air painting. Her work is represented in galleries throughout upstate New York and is included in private and institutional collections, including The Adirondack Experience and the Saratoga Hospital Foundation.
We invite you to join us in celebrating a decade-long tradition of creativity and dedication. The Creative February 2025 Show is an inspiring testament to the impact of daily artistic practice—and a vibrant showcase of the talent and passion that make our creative community thrive.
