The Journal Project - Keys: Connecting: Lenore Lyons is a mixed-media artist who fills her work with color and energy. Lenore is passionate about living life artistically and inspiring others to explore their creative selves. She loves making art journals and finds them to be an accessible entry point for developing creative expression. Art that may present a change in point of view is her trademark; she sees connections in life more than differences. Lenore views keys as a great connector of people over time and space. She has been given keys from all over the United States, Canada, Central America, Europe and Asia. Some keys are old and have been handed down through generations, a few have never been used. Keys are objects that recall vivid memories and inspire powerful concepts. Lenore's latest project links keys and art journals. This exhibit will feature The Key Idea™ a community art project, in collaboration with the Cape Cod and Islands Art Educators. People ages 1-100 have responded to the challenge of selecting a used key, drawing it, then writing about what it might open, start or do. Viewers will have the opportunity to see the development of art, writing and creative thought as the pieces will be grouped by age and arranged sequentially.

Several Opportunities for Artists!
Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich, MA announces its annual outdoor art installation project for 2016. Heritage is seeking installation pieces that interpret and express the connections, tensions, and intricacy of webs, strands, and fibers that intersect or underlay our surroundings and the natural environment. Designs could use natural or synthetic materials to connect spaces, mimic nature's construction, and blend in or contrast with the landscape.

The program runs from mid-October through mid-December and the students are required to complete 40 hours over 8 weeks with their mentors in an artistic field of their choice. Call Alexandra Mulrow for more information at 508-888-3300 x160.
