June First Friday
We are thrilled to partner with local artist Amanda Hardin for this special First Friday celebration.
🎨 Amanda Hardin
Join us on June 6th for First Friday at Sacred Ally, a healing and empowering arts center dedicated to collaborating with our community and local artisans.
Amanda’s art is so stunning and she has such a large catalog of creations that we will be hosting her for both June and July, (note there is no First Friday event in July because Sacred Ally will be closed in observance of Independence Day).
“I use many different mediums, such as oil, acrylics, and more. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its individual style.” ~Amanda Hardin
June’s First Friday event will be a unique opportunity to connect with Amanda and the Sacred Ally Team as we head into the throngs of summer and all it has to offer downtown!
Meet Amanda Hardin:
Amanda Hardin
“With a lifelong passion for art my journey has been a blend of creativity and professional experiences. After a decade as a professional photographer, I transitioned into law enforcement in the Dallas area back in 2012. There my talent was recognized within the department, leading me to become a Composite Artist, contributing to notable convictions.”
Inspired by the amazing world we live in, particularly her time in Montana, Amanda’s paintings embody a fusion of abstract and realism, reflecting her love for nature. The grand landscapes of Glacier National Parks and the surrounding mountain ranges have profoundly influenced her artistic expression.
Amanda had the honor of working with Emmy award winner Mark Kistler (AKA Commander Mark- PBS), where she was able to showcase her skills during a drawing demonstration on his live stream.
Amanda has also illustrated several books - she sincerely enjoys bringing other people’s passions and ideals to life by collaborating on commissioned pieces. She is always open for new commission opportunities so be sure to reach out!
As always, our incredible team of practitioners will be offering mini-sessions throughout the evening to help you ground, connect, release, and relax.
Come sample the talented services our practitioners provide, or indulge in a delicious cup of ceremonial-grade cacao.
✨ Stop by anytime between 5-8pm. ✨
We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating the vibrant artistry of our community!
This is a free event, open to all ages.
We ask that all children remain supervised while visiting Sacred Ally to help us maintain our peaceful and professional space.
