SUMMARY:Dendrites Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:West Gallery: Balam Soto & Mary Anne McCarthy \nBalam Soto and Mary Ann McCarthy are both inspired by the Greek word dendrites\, which refers to trees found in nature and also to neurons in the human brain that resemble trees; however\, their approaches to artmaking are vastly different. McCarthy’s intricate silverpoint drawings of nature and trees highlight the everlasting power of traditional art making. Soto’s interactive cube sculpture uses video\, light and the effect of active human presence to celebrate art’s everchanging capacity to influence how we think about ourselves and the world around us. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Open: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:Red Sky in Morning Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:East Gallery \nKasey Ramirez – Red Sky In Morning \nKasey Ramirez’s drawings and prints explore the tension between stability and impermanence. Ramirez states\, “In my drawings and prints\, buildings become a stand-in for humans\, a metaphor for man-made efforts to create shelters that are ultimately vulnerable to environmental extremes.” Ramirez’s charcoal drawings depict skeletal structures which contain a sense of rise and collapse\, of construction and disintegration that mirrors the precarious state in which humans find themselves in the twenty-first century. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:Drawn To Code Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:TDP Gallery \nGene Gort – Drawn To Code \nGene Gort utilizes computer programming as a means to produce “drawings”. The images generated from computer code create animations\, data visualizations\, and digital prints. Gort writes\, “I am drawn to the concepts of interactivity\, repetition\, variability\, and unpredictability that the process allows.” The exhibition will feature both digital and printed drawings. In addition\, the exhibition includes an ongoing project titled Weather or Not: Current Conditions\, commissioned by Five Points Arts for permanent installation at the new Art Center and as an online web project. The project utilizes real time weather data collected from a weather tower located on the Art Center property\, which Gort reimagines into a live data visualization. The weather project was made possible by a grant from Thomaston Savings Bank. \nJune 24 – July 30\, 2022 \nGallery Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 11AM – 5PM & Sunday 1PM – 5PM

SUMMARY:COLLAGE: METHOD AND METAPHOR
DESCRIPTION:Instructor Name: Stephen Maine \nDate: July 9\, 2022 \nTime: 10:00 – 5:00 \nA truly democratic art form\, collage requires few technical skills\, yet its conceptual reach is boundless. Collage employs spatial disruption as an organizing principle\, its interplay of fragmentation and continuity accommodating and even celebrating contingencies of concept\, process\, and form. Suited to artists as well as graphic designers\, this workshop considers collage as both a pictorial strategy and a vehicle for communication. Experimentation is encouraged in physical and digital modes\, and special emphasis is given to the compositional behavior of color\, the fluidity of iconographic meaning\, and visual humor. \nClick here to register: https://fivepointsarts.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/fivepointsarts/event.jsp?event=420&

SUMMARY:DRAWING FROM NATURE / EXPLORATION AND EXPRESSION
DESCRIPTION:Instructor Name: Kait Lennon\n\nDate: July 23\, 2022 \nTime: 10:00 – 2:00 \nWorkshop Description \nThis workshop will have us reconnecting with nature and ourselves\, to slow down\, focus and observe. Venturing outside\, we’ll pull inspiration from the landscape around us. Whether you feel a strong connection to a particular plant\, the dance of the leaves in the breeze\, or the way the light hits at golden hour. Run with what sparks your interest and start sketching. \nWe will begin by following our own personal compass as we explore the landscape that surrounds the FPAC. Participants will be asked to pay attention\, look around\, and notice what they notice. Kait will work with each participant as they take notes on what they are seeing and experiencing. After the initial guided walk\, work can be made either inside the Art Center or in its beautiful natural surroundings. \nRequired Materials \nSomething to draw with and on\, your preference! Maybe a sketchbook to make some thumbnails on our walk \nClick here to register: https://fivepointsarts.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/fivepointsarts/event.jsp?event=423&
