September Happenings!

Diane L. Wright Art Opening Friday, September 16, 2016 Meet the Artist 6-9 pm Artist Statement: Objects will always hold memories... memories of time, place, sometimes recent events, and they are almost always personal. I have been an historian and a documenter of both real events and imagined myths for most of my life. Using found and saved pieces of my world, I recreate stories that surround these discarded and sometimes unwanted pieces of our lives. Each work tells part of my story, and also allows the viewer to find their own story when observing my work. ------------------------------------------------------------ Gallery Hours: Fridays 6-9 pm, Saturdays and Sundays 11-4 pm 122 Main Street, Lower Level, Collinsville www.theundergroundgallery.org    (860)693-6689 ------------------------------------------------------------

Our History: Once More with Feeling
with Phil Benevento

September 18, 3:00-5:00 p.m.

Nearly 25 years ago, Waterbury’s City Historian, Phil Benevento, presented a two part slide show about the history of Waterbury at the museum. This is a reprisal of those presentations which focused on Waterbury’s golden age from 1880 to 1920. History, colorful stories, streetscapes, industry, recreation, religion, education all get a nod as we take a virtual walk around the city through rare photos and colorful postcards from the turn of the last century. This presentation, like the one 25 years ago, will be shown in two parts 90 minutes in length. A reception with light food and beverages is scheduled immediately following each program.

Distracted Driving

 

Joe Bun Keo, Cecil Gresham, Sr., Scott Penkava

Many artists get their most creative ideas while preoccupied with another task - a long drive being one of the best. The three artists in Distracted Driving make work that is idea based; work that is not always what it first appears. Whether contemplation on language, self-representation or morality, each piece takes you on a ride of discovery.

SCHEMA
An International Call for Works Exploring the Concept of the Self

Open to both traditional AND non-traditional self-portraiture!

The practice of studying the self is as old as human thought. A powerful and perhaps under-appreciated process, when applied well self-reflection can make us better. But when allowed to degrade it can lead to disease.

In art, creating self-portraits is an old familiar genre. Such self-images are often quite different from other portraits, because they reveal the artists’ intensity of engaging and measuring their own image. For this exhibit Manifest is interested in gauging not only how this happens in the art of today (self portraits are welcome) but we are also interested in how artists address the wider concept of self-image, what it means to be aware of “I” and the experience of being an individual.

While true ‘self portraits’ are perfectly acceptable, works are not required to be literal self-images, but may instead be metaphorical, allegorical, autobiographical, virtual, etc. In short, this theme is very open to interpretation and any and all visual arts media.

Submission deadline: September 19, 2016
