ARTS CAFÉ SERIES:
UNDERSTANDING ABSTRACT ART
May 8 & 15;
Thursdays, 4:30-5:30 pm (2 sessions)
$10 member / $15 non-member; Teacher -
Julie Williams
Presented in conjunction with our
upcoming exhibition Abstraction Today, this series will help students
learn to
overcome their resistance to abstract art and learn to appreciate it.
Far more thanjust “flinging a pot of paint,” abstract
art offers a range of expressions; some derived from nature, others
a more spiritual experience. You’ll also get a little art history along
the way. Arts Café
begins at 5:30 pm. Limit: 15 attendees.

Look Here Speed - On loan from
the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, this exhibition explores how artists
use movement to create spirited and expressive masterpieces. Thirty-four
works from all over the world are featured including works by James
E. Buttersworth, Frederic Remington, Jacob Lawrence and Johan Ferdinand
Preiss.
The Shipbuilder’s Art: Models by Heinz Schiller -
Among the highly accurate constructions are the 90-gun British Royal
Navy’s Sovereign
of the Seas (1637), the renowned Bounty (1781), the
French pre-dreadnought Hoche (1886) and the cruiser USS
Brooklyn (1896), a flagship in the Spanish-American War.
How We Get from Here to There - presents
an entertaining and diverse array of art and objects of historic
and contemporary importance that explore movement. This design-oriented
show includes curious and eccentric items ranging from shoes and
toys to railroad artifacts and NASA equipment.
