SUMMARY:"Story Tellers" go back to the beginning\, back to where the artistic journey began
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception is Friday January 27\, 2017 5:00pm-7:00pm\nThis Show will be up January 27-February 18  \nLet’s go back to the beginning. Back to where your artistic journey began and where creativity sparked passion… \nJoin us for “Storytellers”\, an Art Speaks Gallery exhibition that shares the creative stories of Bay School Community Art Center’s Teaching Artists.  \nStorytellers will feature the works & writings of: \nPaul Blais- \nLinda Brent – Linda graduated from VCU with a BFA from the Crafts Dept. She is the art teacher at Ware Academy and has lived in the area for 30 years.  She enjoys the freedom to expand what she teaches children at Ware to adults here. \nSteph Brown –  Steph has been self-employed as a graphic designer since 1985. Originally from Pennsylvania\, she has always had a love of the arts. Pencil drawings\, pen & ink and watercolor are her favorite mediums\, which led to teaching classes in PA at the art supply and framing shop she owned from 1999-2006. Her background includes trades show exhibit design\, drafting\, architectural design\, print design and corporate identity development. She enjoys teaching more than anything else\, and feels that anyone who has the desire can create- it’s just a matter of helping the hand communicate what the heart feels. \nAdele Castillo – Adele Castillo uses a contemporary style to create her animal portraits and pet paintings. She is an artist who has found a niche painting animals in rich\, bold color.  She teaches acrylic painting and color workshops.  \nSaraya Cheney – Saraya believes that the healing and uplifting powers of art can make a real difference in people’s lives. She considers herself a “creative tinkerer” as she enjoys working in all artistic media. Her more recent works explore the vast world of acrylics with intuitive painting and hand-built ceramics.  \nVirginia Coyle – Virginia is self-taught in all her painting and other skills. Her favorite medium to work with is watercolor\, because it is so unpredictable. Virginia loves to paint mermaids\, children and folk art scenes. She also enjoys being creative by drawing\, sewing\, and participating in other forms of artistic projects \nGary Edmondson – Gary began painting in 1984\, after being inspired and taking classes under the guidance of Barkley Sheaks. Gary’s work has also been heavily influenced by MAXFIELD PARRISH\, JEAN-SIMONE CHARDIN\, ODILON REDON\, CHARLES ETHAN PORTER and SANFORD ROBINSON GIFFORD. Gifford was a member of the HUDSON RIVER SCHOOL. Gary’s works have been shown in the Morales Art Gallery in Nags Head\, North Carolina\, as well as The Gallery on the York\, Christopher Newport College\, and the Bay School Community Arts Center. He has won many awards. \nJanet Griffin – retired art specialist from Gloucester County Public Schools. I’ve taught in Hampton City Schools before staying at Petsworth Elementary School for the last 25 years. I continue to be a guest teacher at other Gloucester Elementary schools. I certainly enjoyed my teaching of art to young children. I have always been amazed how children can teach me! Now I look forward to learning from adults. I grew-up in a military family\, so everything was organized! I graduated from Old Dominion University\, Magna cum laude\, (that means I worked very hard and had no social life). My work is balanced between the 60” Macomber and 30” Leclerc Looms. My favorite weaving is Theo Moorman’s tapestry technique. I live in Gloucester Courthouse with my husband\, Jim and two crazy cats. \nLinda Hollett-Bazouzi – received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in art from Radford University. She is a landscape painter\, represented by galleries in Richmond\, Ashland\, and Lexington. Hollett-Bazouzi taught art in Henrico County Public Schools for over 35 years. During that time she was awarded recognition at the local and state levels for her art program\, and achieved National Board Certification in Early/Middle Childhood Art in 2002. She is a member of Oil Painters of America (OPA)\, the National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society (NOAPS)\, and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association (MAPAPA). A devoted en plein air painter\, Hollett-Bazouzi is currently lead artist for the Virginia Plein Air Painters. She is a docent at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. \nKathleen Noffsinger – is an award-winning watercolor artist from Deltaville\, Virginia. Her colorful paintings include lively renderings of wildlife and nature from the Chesapeake Bay\, the Florida Keys and Bermuda. Working with “purist” watercolor techniques in a style that she calls” impressionistic realism”\,Kathleen’s goal is to capture on paper a memorable and creative moment in time. Her limited edition prints are found at many fine art galleries on the East Coast and her paintings have been purchased for both private and corporate collections throughout the world. \nDale Peterson – 20 years with professional Pottery Studio and 30 years in various High Schools – presently I teach Adv. Art and Digital Media at Christchurch School near Saluda. I have a lot of portfolios available on-line at http://dalepeterson.us   — these include pottery\, Computer CAD\, Traditional Painting and Drawing  — lately I have been very involved with 3D pen drawing.

SUMMARY:Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel
DESCRIPTION:Film Director/Producer Dave Miller to introduce his newest film project: “Gilbert Klingel: Man of Steel” on Tuesday\, March 7 at 7 pm at the Gwynn’s Island Civic League building. \nNext Tuesday there will be a special event at the Civic League building to preview the upcoming PBS documentary about the sailboat “Freya” project and Gwynn’s Island boatbuilder\, Gilbert Klingel.  Director/Producer Dave Miller will be there to show the film trailer and talk about this project.  The film will feature Gwynn’s Island and the legendary Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard built by Klingel in the early 1950’s.  It will tell the story about Gilbert’s life and works and the goal of bringing his steel hulled sailboat “Freya” back to the island where she was built in 1953.  This vessel will be available for future generations to learn from and enjoy.  When the boat arrives at the Gwynn’s Island Boat Yard in May\, we plan to have a celebration and would appreciate the ideas you may have on how to celebrate. \nLocal residents will appear in this documentary and our local museums\, the Mathews Maritime Foundation and the Gwynn’s Island Museum are supporting our efforts.  We hope you can join us on March 7 and see how you too can become involved.  You will be quite amazed at what we have achieved so far but we’ll need the help of everyone to make this film a big success. \nOther Chesapeake Bay films by Dave Miller include: Journey on the Chesapeake (2016) and Oysters\, Boats\, and Men (2013).

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Joe Allen\, Dead Man's Curve
DESCRIPTION:An exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. Opening reception Saturday March 11\, 5-7PM. On view through March 31. \n#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery is pleased announce Dead Man’s Curve\, an upcoming solo exhibition of new work by acclaimed Texas-based artist Joe Allen. When shopping for art supplies\, Allen has been known to frequent the back alleys of lumber yards and auto parts stores\, selecting mixed-media materials ranging from battery cables to corrugated steel in order to create his 3-d objects. \nOne of Allen’s prints “Twilight Time” adopts the title of a fifties doo-wop song by the Platters.

In other work\, Jim Morrison and other since-passed-on personalities also appear as “rock and roll clairvoyants coming to warn us” of possible impending doom. \nJoe Allen (born 1949\, Texas) has exhibited widely at venues including the Sharjah International Biennial\, Studio DTFU in Dallas\, the Santa Barbara Contemporary\, and the San Antonio Museum of Art. He was awarded a NEA-Mid-America Arts Alliance grant in 1994 which he used to purchase video editing equipment\, creating his first body of multi-media work. Allen’s art is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston\, McNeese State University\, and private collections in the United States and abroad. \nThere will be an opening reception for the public on Saturday\, March 11 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Serendipity: Williams House Book Series Release
DESCRIPTION:#FFFHEX contemporary art gallery and Airprint Press are pleased to announce the Serendipity: Williams House 2014–2016 Book Series Release on April 29\, 2017 from 5–7 PM. There will be copies of the books for review and limited copies available for purchase. \nSerendipity: Williams House (S:WH) is the studio and experimental exhibition space of artists Lucy Kirkman Allen and Justin Hunter Allen. The Allens invited artists from across the USA and abroad to install artwork in a single room of a farmhouse in Onemo\, VA. Because of its isolated location\, these exhibitions were conceived and documented to exist solely in book form. Fourteen collaborators in eight books bring together critical and creative writing with paintings\, sculptures\, and prints. The project is about artistic relationships\, the studio ecosystem\, and extended conversations with friends. Contributor Michael Corris writes of the project\, “Maybe it’s the idea that there is still some life in the concept of the catalogue at all. The catalogue-as-work\, rather than simply document\, is the oldest Conceptual Art trick in the book. It is the book.” \nAfter moving to rural Mathews County\, the Allens started The Airplant Project to encourage conversation on contemporary regardless of location. Airprint Press\, part of The Airplant Project\, is an artist-run press dedicated to free access to its published books. The S:WH series is available for online viewing at www.airplantproject.org. Downloadable print files to make your own copies are also free on the website.
