The Curry Arts booth at the Party in the Park on July 15 was once again a ROCKIN’ success!

Over 250 rockin’, flat river rocks were painted by children (and some adults!) of all ages.  Paintings included pirates, fish, Mermaids and other under-sea life, and many unique personal designs.

Curry Arts hopes that painting these rocks, in some small way, inspires these talented kids to find time for art elsewhere in their lives.

A big SHOUT OUT to Tammy Delaney for organizing the booth and to all the Curry Arts members who helped make this such a successful and ROCKIN’ fun day!

A good time was had by all.

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday, July 15, has been set for this year’s Party in the Park, at Buffington Park in Gold Beach.

This year’s theme is “Pirates & Mermaids.”

Curry Arts will once again sponsor a booth to spread the word about our organization and to encourage children to explore their creativity!

Children will be able to decorate local river rocks with pirates, mermaids, and their own creative designs.

Please join us for a fun day with the creative Gold Beach kids!

Curry Arts member Tammy Delaney captured last year’s fun in this colorful work!

 

Curry Arts member Morgan Johnson has been awarded 3rd prize in the Expressions West show for his piece “Releasing Androgyny” which is part of his Adaptation Series.

The show runs from April 14 through June 23.

Congrats to Morgan Johnson for winning this prestigious award!
