Art Appreciation

General Information

The purpose of this group is to connect women who enjoy viewing, discussing, and learning about art. From September through May we explore one aspect of art: an element of art, a particular art medium, an art movement, a specific artist, or an exhibit. Our focus is on increasing our knowledge of art.

Event Information

Hello, art appreciators!

Mark your calendars for our next meeting on Oct. 14 from 1-2:30 at Hopkins Center for the Arts.

We’ll meet at Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Main St., Hopkins. Please arrive by 12:45 and gather inside the front entrance. If someone would like to suggest a restaurant, we could meet for lunch beforehand.

There will be three exhibits: Homewood Photography Salon annual show (Debra Fisher Goldstein is a member photographer), John Wells “Material Geometry,” and the annual juried member show (all mediums).

The Homewood Photography Salon subject matter represents street, documentary, travel portraiture, nature, wildlife, abstract, and landscape photography.

In “Material Geometry,” John Wells explores the spatial relationships of shapes, sizes and positions of forms in reductive, minimal and elegant wall sculptures.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Nov. 11 - Ellsworth Kelly (via Zoom)

Denise Rupp will lead us in a discussion of Ellsworth Kelly, an America painter and sculptor. Kelly redefined postwar abstract art by stripping away personal expression in favor of pure color, shape and direct spatial perception.

A Zoom link will be sent to you in November.

Thanks to everyone for your participation. See you soon, art appreciators!
