Hello, there! How are you? I hope you’re feeling well today. Thanks for stopping by here! It’s lovely that you would.
I’m excited to share with you more of the Chautauqua Visual Arts new website. Wow: not only do we have a lot of resources to share, we have galleries that will host interviews, conversations, opportunities for artists to share their work YEAR ‘ROUND. Chautauqua Institution is a nonprofit organization that promotes an inclusive, wide-ranging program of art and artists. I hope you’ll check it out, say hello and visit often!
We also have a blog to share news, articles and topics of interest. Here’s our first blog post.
I’m excited about yet again organizing a new lecture series, this time for the Chautauqua Visual Arts. This year, we have 9 lectures of thought leaders visiting each Tuesday evening from 6:30-8:30pm. Be a part of it: watch, learn, participate! You can find our lecture series on the Virtual Porch: porch.chq.org. Our next lecture will be with Salvador Jimenez-Flores on Tuesday, July 7, 6:30-8:30pm. Look out for a video of Mitra Khorasheh’s talk yesterday! It was wonderful. I’ll be sure to post it on social media and the CVA website soon.
On a personal note, Cheryl Numark & Cheryl Numark Art Advisory is hosting a solo on-line exhibition of 10 years of my paintings and drawings. I’m grateful to be working with Cheryl again, as we are dear friends and we have always collaborated so well together. Cheryl and I worked together while her gallery was in operation for over 10 years and have stayed in touch since. If you have a chance, check it out and her website full of projects and various art work she has placed. And say hello!: info@numarkartadvisory.com
Inspiration of late: Protesters all over the country, Mitra’s signs and symbols store, Hrag’s podcasts and Sarah Cooper’s performative sketches among many other things. How about you? Where are you finding inspiration lately? I’d love to know.
Finally, during a few walks around an empty Chautauqua, I’ve seen some signs of solidarity. I will be adding to them as soon as I have a chance to take another walk.
Thanks for reading, saying hello, being in touch! Hoping you’re safe and well.
