ABSTRACT LANDSCAPE ARTIST, DIANE BRODY AND “PLAY WITH CLAY”
April 5, 2021
The Arts Center welcomes North Florida Artist, Diane Brody, to the Main Gallery during the month of April. Diane’s creativity and love for nature is expressed through her abstract landscape oil paintings. Born and raised in New York City, Diane’s artistic temperament quietly brewed until moving to Florida in 1989. A science teacher and tree-hugger, she re-invented herself as a painter, moved by the quickly disappearing natural environment around her.
The Members’ Gallery will feature a half dozen industrious Arts Center members who discovered the underutilized ceramics kiln and pottery wheel lurking in the downstairs storage shed a little over a year ago. Socially distancing themselves, they got together to produce bowls to donate to the Cedar Key Empty Bowls fundraiser. With that success under their belt, they then branched out to create diverse objects including honey pots, vases, dinnerware, bee plates, frog statues, tiny whimsical houses, fish and myriad more items. All skill levels are represented in this exhibit, from beginners to professional potters. The potters are: Robin Gillies, Pam Deas, Donna Thalacker, Deidre Miller, Sandy Lindhout, and Anne Lindgren. All profits from sales of the Empty Bowls will go to support Cedar Key’s Food Pantry.A “Meet the Artist Gallery Tour” on ZOOM is planned for later in the month if you are unable to come in and enjoy the show this month. Both Exhibits will be open daily from 10-5 through the last weekend of April. More information about the Ats Center is available at www.CedarKeyArtsCenter.org
The Cedar Key Arts Center is a Tax Exempt 501 (c) organization established in 1994 with the understanding that creativity is inherent and vital to the development of humanity, our purpose is to nurture and encourage the arts.
