Artwork by Gold Beach K-12 students will be on display at the 4th Annual Student Art Show held at the Gold Beach Library on Friday, April 26 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday, April 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

A reception with refreshments will be held on Friday beginning at 5 p.m.

Donations will be accepted at the door with all proceeds going directly to the school art program.

More than 300 pieces were entered in the show in a variety of media, including drawing, painting, ceramics, poetry and industrial arts, according to art instructor Todd Lensing.

Curry Arts supports the arts programs in Gold Beach schools by donating its share of the proceeds from the Brew & Art Festival.  Over the past five years, Curry Arts has given more than $25,000 to our local elementary school’s art program and the Gold Beach High School’s art and music programs.

 

 

 

Curry Arts members Pat Renner, Alexandra Eyer, and Tammy Delaney have had paintings juried into upcoming art shows.

Pat Renner has been juried into the Watercolor Society of Oregon’s 2019 Spring Experimental show in Portland, Oregon.  Pat’s painting, “Awash with Flowers”, is one of only 80 paintings selected for this show.

Tammy Delaney and Alexandra Eyer have had works accepted into the Expressions West show at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay.

Alexandra Eyer has also had a painting accepted into the Northwest Watercolor Society International Open show.

Several Curry Arts members stepped forward to donate over $600 after the cancellation of the 2018 Brew & Art Festival. The cancellation, due to the Event Center being occupied by fire-fighting teams working to quell the Agness blaze, resulted in Curry Arts being unable to make its annual contribution to the Gold Beach school arts programs.

In normal years, Curry Arts donates their entire portion of the proceeds to support educational art activities in the Gold Beach schools, usually about $5,000 annually. Curry Arts has donated more than $25,000 to the school arts programs over the past five years.

Because of the large member donations and a match by Curry Arts, a donation of $1,200 has been made to the Gold Beach schools’ arts programs this year.

This donation, while not as large as in normal years, is being used to purchase art supplies and to help prepare student artwork for upcoming shows.

The 2019 Brew & Art Festival will be held on June 22, 2019 from noon to 9 pm at the Curry County Fairgrounds Event Center in Gold Beach. Tickets are on sale at: Interiors, Dan’s Ace Hardware, Gold Beach Books, Wright’s Custom Framing & Art Supplies, and Sassy Seagull.

See the 2019 Brew & Art Festival website goldbeachbrewfest.org for details.

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts have organized an art meet-up workshop scheduled for January 12th, from 10am to noon, in the large downstairs meeting hall at the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach.

We will be sharing tips to keep you inspired and motivated, demonstrating how to make a “Pocket Palette” so art is always within reach, and discussing the hows and whys of artist journaling. Whether you are an established artist or just an art hobbyist, we welcome you to share your own ideas, tips, and demonstrations of how you make art a habit in your life. If you have art journals or sketchbooks that you would like to show, we would love to see them!

Gold Beach Art Enthusiasts have organized an art meet-up workshop scheduled for December 8th, from 10am to noon, in the large downstairs meeting hall at the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach.

This workshop will feature painting demonstrations using Yupo (a synthetic, waterproof paper), ceramic tiles, and a variety of printed materials. We will learn how to make our own alcohol inks and talk about ways to prep surfaces for paint applications. We love learning from and being inspired by other artists so if you have artwork or a technique to share, we would love to see it! A limited supply of materials will be available to experiment with but feel free to bring your own supplies to work with while you are there. We only ask that you are respectful of the space and bring drop cloths if you need them.
