We the People - In Person Reception
Feb
14

We the People - In Person Reception

Art's value is its expression and communication. What does "We The People" mean? How do the six purposes of the United States Constitution, found in the Preamble, relate to the African Diaspora across the globe - across history? The exhibiting artists bring to us their vision, transcending geographical and racial boundaries. We invite the attendees to consider for yourselves the meaning and purpose of the United States Constitution.

THE PREAMBLE

We the People of the United States, in Order to

form a more perfect Union,

establish Justice,

insure domestic Tranquility,

provide for the common Defense,

promote the general Welfare,

and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity,

do ordain and establish

this Constitution for the United States of America.

We look forward to seeing you at the opening reception. Meet the artists and have a great time! Not to talk politics, but to focus on the We The People, and how that resonates with you.

The evening hosts a double reception. The first at Colonial Beach Creative Art Center and the second at Artists' Alliance at Jarrett Thor Fine Art Gallery, just around the corner - 100 Taylor St # 101, Colonial Beach, VA 22443. Visit both during the Second Friday Art Walk!! See you there.

Beach Totems!
Feb
22

Beach Totems!

Class is a full day: 9:30 am – 4 pm, with a 1-hour lunch break

Price per Student is $125 – limited to 6 students

Class is held in the upstairs Flex Space of CB Creative Art Center (participants must be able to climb the stairs to the class space.)

Tell your Beach Story in three panels – creating beautiful Beach Totems, while exploring totem symbolism and personal iconography. Explore various collage and painting techniques using acrylic paint, collage papers and found papers, stencils, stamps and found objects.

3 panels, each 3.5 x 36”, will be provided. In addition: paints, artist mediums, collage papers and small treasure to add to your panels will be provided. But, to make your panels truly yours consider bringing your own objects and treasure to be included.

Participants might want to bring an apron or paint shirt.

Here is a list of ideas for objects and things to bring. (Remember to consider the size, panels are only 3.5” wide.) Consider these items will need to be attached to the surface of your panel and should have a flat side to support the glue.

 Natural items such as small shells, small pieces of sea glass, small pebbles and stones.

 Found or saved objects like bottle caps, buttons, old keys, old jewelry, safety pins.

 Unused hardware such as washers, old screws, nails, wires, window screen

 Papers for collage: paper menus, beer/wine bottle labels, paper maps, old book pages/paperback covers, magazine clippings, match book covers, concert or festival tickets, playing cards, scrap book papers.
