Join us on Zoom, First Tuesday’s 6pm-7pm
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87985620267
Usually 45 minute presentations by individual artists and lively discourse throughout the conversation. A live model (Maureen Kelly Nolan: Maux) is available to draw in the hopes of activating and interacting both sides of your brain and seeing if drawing, as with doodling, can enhance listening, comprehension and intuition. At times a group presents on a specific theme.
For various writings on art:

First Tuesday’s
December 5 2023 Eric David Laxman
“Artist Eric David Laxman sculpts substantial and elegant pieces. His chosen materials are metal and stone. He takes those raw composites and energetically transforms them into something at once very real and highly conceptual.
When he’s pulling out of steel or marble its core character, his intensity is almost primal. It’s clear he’s wrestling with the essence of a shape until it acknowledges itself. He’ll use plasma cutters, oxyacetylene torches, arc welders, benders, hammers …chisels if he has to - to liberate the thing within...” from the website

11/7 2023 6pm-7pm: Donna Zarbin-Byrne
In my exhibition Like Water From a Rock, I have responded to the harshness and beauty of the landscapes of the Chihuahuan desert of West Texas and the West Maui mountains, connecting material sites with an internal process The sculptural installation includes augmented reality that brings animated atmospheric clouds, dissolving mountains, and floating poetry to life. Collaborating with West Texas-based poet Sasha Pimentel, an NEA fellow in poetry, our works respond in reciprocity, intertwining language and form.
