“Floral Fusion – Art & Nature” opens with a reception June 6 from 5 to 8 pm at the Arts & Cultural Center, 117 North Water St., Georgetown, and you’re all invited! A variety of subject matter and paint media by twelve to fifteen artists, a collection of fine hand-made pottery contributed by Georgetown’s very creative clay artisans, and fifteen or more floral designers conspire to create this art-in-bloom show. We’re so excited about the possibilities of this exhibit. On June 6 each floral designer will choose a favorite painting, a favorite pottery container, and return for a reception from 7 to 9 pm on June 27 with their beautiful floral interpretations of the paintings. Join us to enjoy this rich show fusing art and nature.
You can view the paintings Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 4 pm, and Sunday, June 29 from 1 to 4 pm. Enhancing the “Floral Fusion – Art & Nature” show are two programs. On June 14th professional designers Linda Glass and Annie Brady, joined by Molly Raye Sigmon, will provide a workshop: “Fun with Found Florals”. Using “found florals” from your own, or your friend’s, garden or backyard learn to create bouquets for everyday, weddings, or parties. The cost is $15.00. Refreshments will be served.
