SUMMARY:Art House 310 First Friday – Chloe Cloud & Alexandria Olthoff
DESCRIPTION:Art House 310 First Friday – Chloe Cloud & Alexandria Olthoff\nOpening Reception | First Friday April 3rd\, 2026 | 6-10pm\nThis event is free to attend and open to the public. Show hangs through April 19th\, 2026.\nArt House 310 is located at 310 S. Laura. Two blocks SE of Douglas & Washington in downtown Wichita. \nNOTE: Open gallery hours throughout the exhibition are generally Tuesday and Thursday\, 6-9pm and Sunday\, 1-4pm. \nCHLOE CLOUD \nI am an interdisciplinary studio artist and graphic designer based in Wichita\, Kansas\, working across mediums to question how we assign value—what we cherish\, what we overlook\, and what we throw away. \nThis body of work began not in the studio\, but on quiet walks through my small college neighborhood. I started picking up scraps of litter—shards of plastic\, faded fabric\, fragments of packaging—with the simple intention of cleaning up my community. But somewhere between the sidewalk and my doorstep\, my perspective shifted. Among the refuse were unexpected colors\, compelling textures\, and strangely elegant forms. What I first dismissed as trash began to reveal itself as material—full of potential\, history\, and character. \nI became fascinated by the tension between discard and desire. How might I challenge the narrative of worthlessness attached to these objects? How could I elevate what had been abandoned? \nIn response\, I began pairing found debris with thoughtfully curated vintage clippings. By manipulating scale and employing optical illusion\, I transform these fragments into imagined fashions\, theatrical silhouettes\, and expansive landscapes. A scrap of plastic becomes couture. A twist of wire becomes architecture. A fragment of packaging becomes terrain. Through collage and assemblage\, the overlooked is recast as aspirational\, playful\, and powerful. \nThese small rubbish sculptures have redefined my creative practice. They invite me to slow down\, to notice\, and to honor the overlooked. What began as an act of cleanup has become an act of re-seeing—finding beauty in what was once discarded and joy in the act of transformation. \nSee more of Chloe’s work on Instagram: @wasted.wonderings and @chloecloud.design \nALEXANDRIA OLTHOFF \nI am a full-time artist\, born and raised here\, shaped by both staying and leaving. I’ve lived in and moved through places around the world\, but my work has always been about coming back to myself—my instincts\, my values\, my anger\, my softness\, and my truth. \nI am celebrating! I am also tired as hell and looking for a new life balance while on a journey of diving in\, learning and growing. \nEvery piece here comes from a portfolio I built over two years of obsessive focus\, discipline\, doubt\, and stubborn belief. This is the work that got me my tattoo apprenticeship. It didn’t happen by accident. It happened because I showed up over and over again and refused to quit. This exhibition is both a celebration and a threshold: honoring the discipline and devotion that brought me here\, while opening the door to a new direction in my creative life. \nAnimals show up again and again in my work because they don’t lie. They carry power\, vulnerability\, protection\, survival\, and instinct without apology. Alongside them live themes of justice\, acceptance\, feminism\, queerness\, and representation. Sometimes my work is an open heart. Sometimes it’s a middle finger. Often it’s both. \nI make art to say the things I don’t always have words for. To share my inner world. To carve space for softness\, rage\, humor\, grief\, desire\, and a very clear fuck you / fuck it / fuck all when needed. Anything gay\, anything defiant\, anything honest belongs here. \nTattooing is not a departure from my art practice—it’s an evolution. I’m not abandoning painting or creating. I’m expanding. I continue to accept custom work and pet portraits\, now with longer timelines as my schedule shifts. \nI dance when I can. I travel the world with my husband. I disappear into home when I need to. All of it feeds the work. All of it shows up here. \nThis show is about persistence\, transformation\, and choosing myself—again and again—until it finally paid off. \nSee more of Alexandria’s work online: linktr.ee/alexandriaolthoff\, on Instagram: @alikatart7\, and on Facebook: @AlikatArtBiz \nwww.ArtHouse310.com\nFacebook | @ArtHouse310\,  Instagram | @ArtHouse310\, TikTok | @AngieAwesomePants
