SUMMARY:Nature Journaling Club
DESCRIPTION:Practiced by artists and naturalists alike\, nature journaling is a centuries-old exercise in refining our powers of observation\, appreciation for nature\, drawing skills\, and mindful presence. This group is open to all experience levels as we meet to sketch\, connect\, and learn together! \nWe meet at 10am in front of Del Ray Artisans on the final Saturday morning of the month (except not in July\, November\, and December). Mark your calendar or set a reminder in Eventbrite. \nParticipants will need to bring their own sketchbooks and supplies. We will have plenty of time for sketching in nature before gathering again at 11:30am to share our sketches and observations and discuss tips and tools for nature journaling in the wild. We hope you will join us as we strengthen our art and inquiry practice together! \nSuggested supplies: sketchbook\, pens\, pencils\, colored pencils\, watercolor pencils\, or other portable media\, and a water bottle since we will be outdoors. You may also want to bring something to sit on (folding chair or blanket). \nNOTE: This program is held outdoors and will be canceled if raining. \nThis program is FREE! Donations appreciated.

SUMMARY:Happy 275th Anniversary to the City of Alexandria #ALX275 installation (6/7/2024 – 10/28/2024)
DESCRIPTION:The “Happy 275th Anniversary to the City of Alexandria #ALX275” installation is courtesy of Del Ray Artisans nonprofit. Take a photo with the installation\, share on social media and tag:\n#ALX275 #CityPride #DelRayArtisans \nThe installation is approximately 40 feet wide by 7 feet tall and was created using natural and synthetic yarn\, fabric trim\, mylar\, plastic\, and vinyl. The installation is on display outside Del Ray Artisans gallery from June 7 through October 28\, 2024. The original end date was September 1\, but it was extended due to positive community feedback and a material connection to the Fascinating Fiber\, Alluring Fabric art exhibit inside Del Ray Artisans gallery from September 6–28\, 2024. \nRiver Towers Condominium Association donated knitted and crocheted pieces from a yarn bomb installation at the condominium complex (March-April 2024) to Del Ray Artisans. The individual pieces were created by Iva Beatty\, Melinda Croft\, Nancy Mendez\, Anne St. Jacques\, and Leah Sturgis. Most of the yarn came from UpCycle Creative Reuse Center. \nThe pieces were reformed into “candles” and installed outside Del Ray Artisans gallery by Dawn Wyse Hurto\, Sophia Jones\, Adelyn Doyle\, and Kurt Peterson. The new concept was completed with the addition of a banner wishing a happy 275th anniversary to the City of Alexandria. The source materials for the banner include a photograph by Engin Akyurt (via Unsplash)\, and fonts KG A Little Swag by Kimberly Geswein and Mix Stitch by Mix Fonts (via dafont.com). \nDel Ray Artisans\, founded in 1992\, is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote art for the benefit of artists and the community. \nMore information on the City of Alexandria’s 275th Anniversary is available at alexandriava.gov/ALX275. \nYarn bomb installation at River Towers Condominium (April 2024)\n#ALX275 installation at Del Ray Artisans (May 2024\, in progress)\n#ALX275 installation at Del Ray Artisans (June 2024)
