More about our about St. George's Arts Alliance:
Each year, St. George's and the Arts Alliance hosts an exhibit and fine art sale featuring local and regional artists. On this special evening, hundreds of pieces of artwork are on display and are available for purchase by both St. George's families and the public. It is both an opportunity for artists to introduce their work to a large number of serious collectors of fine art, as well as those beginning to learn who the important regional artists are. Artists are able to sell their pieces, and a percentage (30%) of the proceeds goes to enhance the arts programs of all three campuses of St. George's Independent Schools.

Meet critic/curator Kevin McGarry in Nashville: Th, June 3 @ NCAP

Nashville Cultural Arts Project is proud to introduce our new lecture series Insight? Outta Site!
http://www.n-cap.org/index.html

7pm, Thursday, June 3rd, NCAP welcomes Brooklyn-based writer and curator

Kevin McGarry to the Neuhoff Building in Germantown for the first of a series of participatory potluck forums designed to ignite creativity and thoughtful discussion about contemporary art and social engagement.


While McGarry will be discussing his ideas about art and writing, he's not here to give a traditional talk -- rather he wants to directly engage with you and answer your questions on the subject. Please bring a dish/drink/question/thought to share!


Insight? Outta Site! takes place in the Neuhoff building, located at 1315 Adams Street, 37208. The forum is free, but seating is limited, so please RSVP by June 1.

Kevin McGarry

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Kevin McGarry is a writer and curator based in Brooklyn, NY.
He has contributed to
Rhizome, New York Times T' Magazine, and the online editions of Art in America, Artforum, Art 21, Bidoun and Interview Magazine.

McGarry is co-director and programer of Migrating Forms, a festival of new and experimental film and video held at Anthology Film Archives.



While McGarry is in Nashville he will be visiting Seed Space, to write about Alicia Beach's show, Senarios of Control. Please stop by to see the exhibit, which runs June 2 - July 17.



Playing on the success of NCAP's Outta Site! series, which brought internationally prominent artists, architects, and urban planners to Nashville, Insight? Outta Site!
redefines the traditional lecture model. Rather than bring in speakers to simply give a speech and leave, Insight? Outta Site! facilitates interaction between invited speakers and the local community. In September we welcome Sylvie Fortin, Editor-in-Chief of
Art Papers, for the next Insight? Outta Site! forum.

FRANKLIN, Tenn., May 26, 2010 --The Arts Council of Williamson County’s ‘Brown Bag Lunch Bunch’ guest speaker for June is Eric L Hansen, Photographic Artist. The Lunch Bunch will meet on Friday, June 11, from 11 am – 1 pm at the Williamson County Public Library (main conference room), 1314 Columbia Pike in Franklin.
Eric’s colour images are deeply personal storyboards of his own connection to contemporary American culture. He began making photographs at the age of 12, and while he later studied drawing and painting, photography remains his enduring passion. He earned a BFA degree at Newark College of the Arts in creative writing and theatre: the art of telling a story with actors, colour, light, shadow and space.

In the last ten years, his work has appeared in more than thirty group shows and solo exhibitions, where he has won numerous awards. His private collectors include the actress Drew Barrymore; and film and radio producer Margaret Koval. Some of his work was recently purchased by the LaGrange Museum of Art for their permanent collection.

Museum directors who have curated his work include: Curator of Photography at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Malcolm Daniel, Director of the Museum of Photographic Art Carol McCusker, Director of Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art Robert Fitzpatrick, and Director of the Smithsonian Museum of American Art Joann Moser.

Eric is the founder of the Eric L Hansen Photo Workshops, presently in early startup. Facilities are located in Cool Springs. You can learn more about Eric, his work, and the workshops, at www.ericlhansen.com.

Grab your lunch and join the Art’s Council for a lunch time of artistic fun and camaraderie. Guests are invited to bring a piece of their own artwork to share with the group. The Arts Council’s ‘Brown Bag Lunch Bunch’ meets 2nd Friday of most months. For more information, visit www.artscouncilwc.org, or call 428-3845.

STILL LIFE WORKSHOP

9:00- 4:00

Sunday, July 23rd

1:30 - 4:30
All skill levels will be accepted from beginner to advanced levels. Some painting knowledge is helpful but not necessary. You will work at your own skill level and pace. Spaces are limited(minimum seven, maximum nine) so register early. Please e-mail your intent or call me at (615)754-7336 for information on where to mail your registration and a list of supplies. The price of this workshop is $185 and a minimum non-refundable deposit of half is required upon registration to reserve your seat.


You will discover a whole new way of seeing the world around you. Learning to draw what you see rather than what you think you see will open your eyes to a different approach to painting.

During the morning, I will have a short demo on some basic drawing skills, toning a canvas, and placing your subject on canvas. If you are familiar with the drawing on the right side of the brain, you can immediately begin to work on your composition. I will spend more time on the drawing for those that are just beginning. Still life set-ups will be available to paint from. Individual instruction at your easel will be given throughout the day. You are welcome to practice your drawing skills or work in pastels or oils.


A supply list will be sent upon registration for those that have their own supplies. For those who would like to use my supplies, there will be a flat usage fee of $35 in addition to the workshop fee. This will include use of paints, brushes, sprays, palette, and charcoal. I will also have some individual supplies available for purchase if you need them (canvases, tablets, pencils, eraser and paints). Please let me know ahead of time if you will be using my supplies or needing to purchase supplies.
