This year our art group was given another opportunity to display their art in the Castle Rock library. Their space is wonderful and we were able to hang 80 pieces. We also gave 6 demonstrations of art techniques for library patrons.. Our closing reception will be this Saturday, January 4th.
I hung eight pieces this year:
A series of three pine cone pieces
My three acrylics with paper and fiber, representing thermal runoff
The Thermal runoff #6 in fiber with embellishment
and the 3D skyline of Denver.
We chose one or two pieces from each of the ten artists to show in the main library and tried to represent as many subjects and techniques as we could to engage the patrons. I especially enjoyed two modern pieces, a self portrait and a giraffe which I hoped to catch the attention of the young readers. I put the 3D skyline there, as well, to bring a little curiosity to the viewers, especially the children.
The hall to the conference rooms and offices was lined with larger pieces, usually 3 or 4 by 5 feet in size. Again there was quite a variety of subjects and techniques, from large red lips which zipped open to traditional/modern quilting.
Our "World Challenge" was hung along the entire wall facing the conference rooms. Ten pieces, all 40" wide and 28" high, hung end to end. It is very impressive! Between the conference room doors were hung pieces grouped mainly by artist.
As of three weeks ago we have sold two pieces of art. We may have sold more. We find out the day after tomorrow. More on the show later.
