Thanks to all of our artists and art lovers for a great year! Wow, the weather today is blistery (I hear the wind howling and see it swirling outside) as we await the die-hards coming to celebrate tonight! I think back on all of the wonderful art created and sold this year with a smile. We love supporting our artists and their fans!
Here’s a look back on just some of the pieces sold this year.
We love hosting events in our event center such as the Lion’s club with performances by the MVHS Choir, painting classes taught by Mark Benesh, vendor fairs, writer’s night, community events, weddings, receptions, bridal showers, special exhibits such as Bob Campagna’s Cornell photo show and much more…
The Portrayal of Mount Vernon (April in 2023) and our Annual Bridal fair (March in 2023) have became community staples.
We are exciting to bring you pieces by Andrew Raeside. This show runs from August 3 – Sept. Originally scheduled to be at the Artisans Sanctuary we are happy to help out! Stop in to see Andrew’s mixed media pieces! All pieces are for sale.
“My current objective is to use abstract art to celebrate what connects us all
together. The New York School of Abstract expressionists is my primary influence. They
spoke about a collective unconscious, a concept held by psychologist Carl Jung. But
it is not necessary to believe in anything magical to understand that we are all connected
together because we all have shared experiences. And we all respond emotionally to our
experiences. When we look at a painting we respond emotionally to what we are seeing.
Even if the painting is completely abstract and makes no reference to anything in the
physical world. We may not be conscious of our reaction but if we are paying attention it
is there. My wish is to make paintings that celebrate these emotional interconnections
between us.”
