The Painting Journal: July 10, 2010. Registration by July 5

The Painting Journal

taught by Julie Russell

The Painting Journal Workshop is for those who seek an imaginative, colorful, surprise-filled vehicle for transformation, and who enjoy laughing and lightheartedness. No previous art experience is needed to begin your own journey into "wholeness" through the everyday.

Julie will share her journals and techniques for developing your own unique painting journal. She invites you to become an active creator, exploring new possibilities in perception, and growing toward the self-empowered being you were intended to be.

You will be guided in tracking and interpreting dreams, allowing vision for your life and holding it, expressing feelings, and daring to embrace the tigers along the way. Later, revisiting the journal and seeing with fresh eyes the ordinary made extraordinary, you'll experience your own reflection as dear friend -- returning, remembered, loved.

Summers session

Saturday July 10*

9:00am-4:30pm

$95 ($80 co-op)



*REGISTRATION DEADLINE: July 5

*Please bring: Spiral Sketchbook (14x11 or smaller) Watercolor paints(simple), brush(es), a lidded jar, a dream or dream fragment, and a simple pot-luck dish to share at lunch.

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

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.

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.

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.
