Exhibits & Workshops

NOTE:  The Thursday Art Meet-Ups will be suspended for a few weeks for the summer.  Please check back for updates on when this fun group will start up again.

Our weekly Thursday Art Meet-Ups happen every Thursday from 4-6 p.m. in the Gold Beach High School art room and welcome artists of all levels who want to gather with the purpose of creating and sharing art and crafts.

Meet at the door off the parking lot behind the school and closest to the gym for entrance.  Please park in the back of the high school and use the rear entrance to reach the art classroom. We will lock the exterior door at 4:15 p.m. so if you arrive late, just text us.  Click here for a map to the location:  GBHS-Map for Art Meet-ups   Bring your own supplies and join us!

The sessions are generally unstructured, although we may set up a still-life or provide a theme for inspiration, and are intended to simply provide a time, a place, and the motivation to be creative. Bring your own materials and join us!

Additional upcoming events:

About Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts

In October, 2018 Curry Arts, Inc. formed an Arts Outreach Committee with several specific goals:

Support artists of all levels and increase the presence of and appreciation for art within our community
Expand on and develop inclusive opportunities for community members to engage with many types of art and craft mediums
Develop and implement art-focused activities and events as a means for community learning, social interaction, and wellness

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts will be hosting a free art workshop on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at the Gold Beach High School art room beginning at 10:00am. The theme will be Water!

Join us for a relaxing and inspiring art event in Gold Beach, Oregon.

This will be an informal time to share and create art with the theme: water. Please bring supplies to make art with us.

You are invited to bring any artwork you have which could fall within the theme of “water” (ie: watercolor paintings, art with the subject of water, etc) and we’d love to see how you’ve captured or used this beautiful and somewhat elusive element in your own work. You need not share your work to attend.

This is a free community art workshop. All ages and artistic abilities are welcome.  Some supplies may be available for sharing and we’ll focus the most of our time on simply working on our own art together.

For questions or more information, contact Julie Wilson jpuzwilson@gmail.com or Janee Lensing jllensing@gmail.com or visit the Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/GBArtEnthusiasts/events/

Curry Arts Member Sharon Guinn will present a Doodle Design Workship on October 15th.  Zentangle is a fun art form that takes line and shapes to make abstract form.  Students will use these qualities of line and shape to design a piece of art that will have the student’s artistic fingerprint throughout.  Students, start looking through magazines for the shapes and art forms that inspire you…maybe something for the holidays.  Start a file for ideas for the workshop.  It is fun and will exercise your creative skills, as you draw and doodle through your project.
