A NOTE FROM KATHY
 
Our summer rehang and the first reception in...well...a long time, happened this past Friday and both were a success.  I want to express my heart felt thanks to Rosemary, Richard and Michelle for their work hanging the artwork and to all the artists for giving us such a wonderful variety of pieces to use.  It makes it so much easier when the quality of art is so high.
Considering increasing concerns over recent Covid numbers, we had a fair number of people at the reception.  They like the food lucynda and I provided, enough to eat up most of it, and really enjoyed sitting in The Beachstone Gallery visiting with artists and with one another.
A special thanks to Rosemary for cleaning the place up so nicely, to JoAnn for a beautiful bouquet of flowers and to my grandsons, Joe and Michael, for helping me put the tables away and then get them out again the next day.  AS fun as this all was, I'd like to say again that we really need a new Gallery Coordinator.  If you have even a shadow of interest in the job, please talk with JoAnn or me so that we can talk you into it.
Sadly, no before picture, but this is what it looks like toward the end.


      SPECIAL INVITATION 

UPCOMING CLASS

BY SPECIAL INVITATION:
Dream Monsters and Found Object Fiends Class:
 
 An internationally known assemblage artist, Michael deMeng will be teaching a three day class at the ASA/Beachstone gallery on July 21-23 DeMeng utilizes discarded items for his shrine-like works and creatures.  Scrap metal, old appliances, or miscellaneous objects that would typically be considered ‘junk’ are transformed into pieces of beauty and meaning.

 

 DeMeng describes his works as,

a form of rebirth from the ashes into new life and new meaning. These assemblages are metaphors for the evolutions and revolutions of existence...the forms are examinations of the world in perpetual flux, where meaning and function are ever- changing.”

 

While most artists tend towards privacy and secrecy when discussing their techniques, deMeng couldn’t be more open about his artistic process. The artist is not only unguarded about discussing how and with what he makes his assemblages, he teaches workshops showing the very same processes that he utilizes to create their own works of art from scraps and junk- yard finds.

SCHOLORSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE...Please Contact Michelle Lindsley
