Greetings to Our Hub on Canal Supporters
The “season” is winding down and I want to thank you for your support of The Hub on Canal and highlight an upcoming opportunity. In late March we held our annual Spring Sale. Our artists cleared out their closets and you reaped the benefits. Sales jumped compared to last year—we thank you for that.
In early April we held a members-only event to unveil an artist’s challenge exhibition featuring the work of 22 of our artists. Our award-winning master bird carver Tad Fyock asked the other artists to create their personal interpretations of a colorful African bird—the Bee Eater. Members rubbed elbows with our artists while enjoying fine food and wine. It was a great success as attendance exceeded our expectations and all had a good time. The exhibit is in the Higginbotham Studio and will run through the mid-May.
Looking ahead, if you have kids or grandkids and are seeking stimulating and inspiring activities for them during June, be sure to view our summer camp offering at
www.theHUBoncanal.org
. We continue to refine and enhance our classes roster. Like last year, we expect an enthusiastic response. Scholarships are available to those in need.

"SCENES & TREES" -
MAY 5 - MAY 28
|
|
”In all artistic disciplines, whether it’s dance, acting, writing, singing, music, painting, sculpture, etc., artistic endeavor reaches its zenith when it emotionally moves either or both the viewer and the artist or artists involved. This is what I try to achieve with each piece I create."

THIS EXHIBIT
I've always loved the strength, beauty and natural stature of some of the old living things on earth. And that something – at times so ominous, beautiful and/or graceful – can, more often than not, be taken for granted. Just think: these living things are home to a huge variety of animal species, as well as provide the materials to make our own homes, tools, furniture, artistic sculpture, and provide heat, etc. Their leaves and berries and fruit provide much food for life. They have inspired poets, lovers and dreamers since time began.

FILM FESTIVAL GIVES STUDENTS VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
Hometown News:
Nearly a dozen high school students from around Volusia County sat quietly in the loft at The Hub on Canal in New Smyrna Beach Feb. 17, waiting their turn to be interviewed by some pretty big names in the film industry.
The occasion was the second annual Student Film Festival and these were the finalists, waiting to “pitch” their films to the judges. Students from 10 Volusia County high schools, participating in Digital Video Production and Digital Multi-Media Design programs, had the opportunity to create film and movie poster entries for the festival.
|
|
Film entries had to be between 3-5 minutes long. Film posters had to reflect collaboration with the student film producer.
