January at the Art Center

The secret word of the year is...
It's a
NEW
month in a
NEW
year! We have a blank canvas to work with and the rest of the year is ours to mold and shape into what we want. A great
NEW
year's resolution is to wake your muse out of hibernation and find your creativity again. With a brand
NEW
schedule of exhibits, artist opportunities, and a
NEW
semester of classes for adults and kids, there's no excuse to not create!
|
|
Our first show of the year is Class Act, where students and teachers from 2018 can show off what they've created. Right after that, our first
juried
exhibit of the year, Fly on the Wall, will go up. And Santa Fe artist Deco will have her solo exhibit, "Universe in Pieces" in the Portal Gallery!
|
|
Be inspired by artwork that was created by the students, instructors, and participants in the variety of art interest groups in 2018.
The show will be fully up by January 17. An Artist's Reception will be held from 1pm to 3pm on Saturday, January 26th.

The last week of January will be devoted to setting up Fly on the Wall.
We asked artists to give us the inside scoop and let us in on their secrets. In this exhibit, we will chronicle the candid and intimate moments in life.
Opening Reception will be on Friday, February 1 from 5pm to 7pm.

Planets, galaxies, and star birth clouds both imagined and drawn accurately from Hubble photos, are bold and embedded with secret details of image and word.
