How does your garden grow?


“How Does Your Garden Grow?”
 
The Village Artisans at 100 Corry Street is pleased to announce its June show, an interactive gallery, “How Does Your Garden Grow?” After the Street Fair, members of Village Artisans will cover the Hall Gallery walls with large, blank sheets of paper. Then, beginning June 11, artists of all ages and skill levels are invited to stop by the gallery to draw their own garden visions with crayons, markers and colored pencils. Drawings will be welcomed until all the space on the paper is used up. A celebration of this project, along with much more interaction, drawing and refreshments, will take place from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. on Art Stroll evening, Friday, June 14.



Be sure to also stop by and see the creative garden outside our shop.

Februrary 2013 - More Wonderfulness

We know the weather during the month of February is always a little unpredictable, so you may or may not have had a chance to make it in to see Ann Bain's exhibit "Wonderfulness."  It's not too late if you haven't made it yet.  The show is in it's final days, but here are a few images from the show.




Our Miss Ann is so creative.  Don't you just love the unique Title "Cards" she made for each of her works?  How does one do calligraphy on  a feather?
  

Ann's show will be up until the 27th. 
Please try to stop by before then and see the Wonderfulness for yourself.

February 2013 - "Wonderfulness"


The Village Artisans Cooperative is hosting an exhibit by member and artist/calligrapher, Ann Bain, throughout the month of February. Ann’s exhibit, “Worldfulness,” is a celebration of the artful use of words.
 “As an artist/calligrapher,” says Ann, “I am interested in the meanings that drive the words, as well as the clothes they wear.  Color, form, historical associations and even whimsy come into play in my art.  I enjoy promoting individual, personal expression as opposed to the limits of technology.  One size, or shape does not necessarily fit all.” Most of the February exhibit will be new work full of saturated color, which, Ann adds, “is nice to see in the bleak midwinter.”
            A reception for Ann will be held at the Village Artisans on Friday, February 15, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
