The Linework art exhibit will be on display through January 2025 in the Bay County Public Library galleries and display case. Emilie Pritchard’s intricate jewelry pieces are linear, creating geometric sculptural forms, which is what inspired the show title. The artwork in the galleries has been created by talented local tattoo artists in the Bay County area. Linework is a tattoo that focuses on line, rather than color and/or shading. The tattoo styles represented range from American Traditional to Neorealism.
The Linework artist reception is Saturday, January 11 from 2 – 3 p.m. Meet several of the artists and learn about their art process. The event is free and open to the public with light refreshments.

“Tattoo Artists have to be incredibly precise in their art practice and linework because of working on a permanent canvas. They are highly skilled in their drawing and illustration techniques” shares Sarah Burris, Community Relations and Marketing Coordinator. “It is exciting to bring several of our talented local tattoo artists’ work into the gallery walls. Emilie Pritchard’s jewelry is gorgeous and unique in its sculptural quality. A must-see show at the Bay County Public Library.”
