“Destination ARTS!” Summer 2014 – Week 2, Thursday, July 3 – Sunday, July 6
Following last week’s grand opening, “Destination ARTS!” activities continue in downtown Waynesboro this weekend. Six galleries will be open on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, but they will all be closed on Friday, July 4 in commemoration of the Independence Day holiday.
In the Galleries
Gallery 20 East
“Prism,” the abstract art exhibit comprised of paintings done by Colleen Clapp and Ed Ramsburg (both from Frederick County, Md) remains open at Gallery 20 East this weekend.
Gallery 50 West
On Thursday, fine artist Marjorie Tressler returns to Gallery 50 to lead the latest in a series of live painting demonstrations from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
All week, new artwork is featured in Gallery 50. A few of the artists from the area who have their works on display and for sale are Steven Wright, Jennie Avila and Linda Barnhart of Hagerstown, Md, as well as Greencastle’s Eliane Ambrose.
Katrina Hoopes of Waynesboro has created several paintings of dogs that she fell in love with while walking them at the Antietam Humane Society. Half of the proceeds she earns from the sale of this animal-themed art will be donated to AHS. Your purchase could contribute to this very good cause.
“Through The Lens” – Gallery 74 West
Our newest gallery is devoted to the work of eighteen photographers. It is in a recently renovated storefront at 74 West Main Street. If you have not stopped in, please do, for a wonderful experience.
Ceramic Center of Waynesboro
We have a great group of people at the studio! Creative minds tend to feed off one another and that is what we are about. The craft of clay is one that has many possibilities. Are you looking to try something new? Take a look at our up coming classes, we know you would enjoy yourself! Not seeing something that fits your schedule, contact us and we will see what we can offer. There are kid classes, adult classes, and private lessons that we provide. Always looking forward to getting our hands muddy with you! Get more information!
42 West Artists Co-Op
42 West Co-Op is featuring the two new exhibits, one is a collection of Abstracts while the other is a grouping of miniatures. Each exhibit is a collection of works from numerous artists.
Pat Beard will be providing a special demonstration on Saturday afternoon. She’s set to begin “Weaving on the Loom” inside 42 West ARTS Co-Op at. A juried member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and the Cumberland Valley Craft Guild, Beard enjoys combining interesting colors with textures and a touch of shiny yarn when weaving on her old-fashioned loom.
