PLEASE SHARE

This building will be buzzing with activity this Friday!  Not only will we have the variety show and silent auction going on, but, wait there’s more!

East End Art cordially invites you to their First Friday Art Reception for Sue Penn, Friday, April 7th from 5:30-7:30pm.

The event is held in the Library (upstairs, adjacent to the gallery) of the First Street Community Center.  Refreshments and wine served for this casual reception.

Come meet Sue and see her exhibit of Mixed Media paintings.

Sue describes her interest in art:

“My passion is color, I love movement and texture. When I began painting again ten years ago and discovered Mixed Media, I was in Art Heaven! Nothing makes me happier than spending a day playing with my acrylics, stencils, stamps, and papers to see what materializes. I’m always learning, changing and refining what I’m creating. I never know what I’m going to do next.” SP

Artist’s Statement

Little bottles, keys, small animal bones, trinkets, game pieces, bottle caps.
On and on. The list is long.
I pick up small treasures from the ground.
I dig through bins at resale shops.
For objects that hold history, small moments, everyday lives.
I imagine the lives.
The people who touched them, used them, cared for them.
Their transformation over time.
I work to honor their past.
I work to add them to the present.
I place them in my work.
To become timeless, layered, and altered.
Past and present to create new definitions, connections, emotions.
Connect me to you. My life to your life. My making to your knowing.

You are invited to attend our First Friday Art Reception and Book signing for Robert Campagna, Friday, February 3rd, 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

Refreshments will be served, in the Library (adjacent to the gallery) of the First Street Community Center.

Campagna will have 24 Native American framed images on exhibit and will also be signing his new book “In Great Spirit”. ( Exhibit pieces and books will be available to purchase).

Campagna’s 52 page, 6″ x 9″ spiral bound book features photos of the Taos Pueblo, Meskwaki Nation, and a Karuk basket weaver.

There are approximately 50 images in the book with added text from Black Elk, Ohiyesa, Black Hawk, and others.

It’s important to emphasize that this is an exhibit catalogue, not a coffee table book (important for tribal political reasons), and it reflects, in part, Campagna’s personal journey.


This from East End Art’s Facebook page:

We are super excited about hosting Bob’s exhibit of Native American photos. At 6:15 he will speak about the collection, so make sure you are here by then. Bob will also be signing his book thru the evening as well. And, because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner…. our refreshments will include chocolate, and you already know that we always serve wine.

This event is open to the public and is brought to you by:
