Tell Me a Story Art Exhibit
March 6-23, 2020
Opening Reception: Friday, March 6 from 7-9pm
Join us at Del Ray Artisans gallery for a variety of stories told from local area artists. Have you ever looked at a piece of art and your imagination immediately starts to wander? Narrative art tells a story, either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding over time. A picture is worth a thousand words; Tell Me a Story will take you on an imaginative journey.
Meet the curator and artists at the opening reception on Friday, March 6 from 7-9pm; and register now for these special workshops held in conjunction with the exhibit:
- Calligraphy Storytelling Workshop on Sunday, March 15 from 1-4pm. Explore calligraphy through experimenting with various writing tools and letterforms. This is an opportunity to practice hand lettering as a way to visually share a story, poetry, or travel journaling. Instructor: Jenny Nicholson.
. - Create a New Story: Altered Book Workshop on Saturday, March 28 from 1-4pm. Transform a board book into a beautiful, inspiring new story using paints, papers, pages from old books and plenty of mixed media techniques. It’s never too late to begin a new chapter or create a new story. Instructor: Jackie Tury. (This workshop has been cancelled.)
