 Unveiling of Frederick's Fourth Mural

The Banner School

Stephen Parnes, The Banner School's head of school and the President of the Frederick Arts Council, has teamed with Anthony Owens, owner of Anthony Owens Remodeling and Repair, to create Believe, the City of Frederick's fourth major mural by artist Owens. In this case, Owens and Parnes conceived of the three-part mural together, with two of the elements created by Owens and one by Parnes, who had never before designed a mosaic artwork.

The official unveiling of Believe, which is open to the public, will take place on Friday, January 31, at 2:30 p.m. at The Banner School, whose historic campus is located at 1730 North Market Street. The unveiling will coincide with an art exhibit celebrating student art and Banner's commitment to the arts in the school's central building, Botkin Hall.

New Member Show 

In February, The Artists' Gallery will feature a show by its five newest members. Painters Ray Burns, Joan Tarbell Plato, and Marion Griffin and photographers Charles Bowers and Mark Rothkopf will show work in the gallery's back room.

Ray Burns: "My work involves developing a build-up of texture, color, and light to create a rich surface of the painting with the landscape as the framework" (at left, "Point of Rocks Train Station")

Charles Bowers began by taking photographs to document the gardens he designed and built: "I discovered another way to express my art," he says, "first in the darkroom and now in the digital darkroom." 

Joan Plato will show paintings and a handmade book inspired by stones: "Stones are mesmerizing to me and appear again and again throughout my work."

Mark Rothkopf will show a set of architectural pieces: "My work is often about light and shadows, and geometry- I'm drawn to those things."

Marion Griffin's imagination was sparked by a trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon: "I am still intrigued by the thresholds, crevices and entrances into the cave dwellings."
 
Member Show  

The Artists' Gallery will also have a show of work by the seventeen other members of the gallery.

Both shows will continue through February 23rd.
