OPB features Bend gallery

Ron Schulty holds up a ghost print by Sisters artist John Simpkins made with the aid of a 10-ton steamroller at the A6 parking lot. Ghost prints use the residual ink left after a first print has been pressed creating a lighter and sometimes different image. ”Oregon Art Beat” will feature the event in broadcasts Sunday.

The Oregon Public Broadcasting program Oregon Art Beat will feature a segment on “Under Pressure,” the annual steamroller art event organized by the Atelier 6000 studio and gallery. The show airs at 1 a.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday.

At the annual event, more than a dozen invited artists make large-scale art plates and press prints using a steamroller in the parking lot of A6. The Oregon Art Beat segment features footage from the 2009 event.
