The Chihuly Collection presented by the Morean Arts Center is opening a new temporary exhibition featuring 6 unique artists, Preston Singletary, Jennifer Pohlman & Sabrina Knowles, David Walters, Matthew Piepenbrok and David Schnuckel. Each artist utilizes or implies narrative in glass, much like other art mediums, however glass has historically been used as simply a functional or sculptural art form. "Storytellers" opens Friday, June 8 and will be on view through October 31
Participants will write a one page ekphrastic story or poem inspired by Chihuly Collection's exhibition, "Storytellers". THIS CLASS WILL MEET AT MOREAN ART CENTER and then we will walk across the street to Chihuly Collection to view the pieces on display.
You will pick the piece that most inspires you and after viewing the work we will go back to the classroom at the Morean to flesh out our thoughts/writing. Participants will then perform their work at Cocktails with the Collection for "Storytellers" on Saturday, August 25 (6:00-8:00pm) at Chihuly Collection.
*This class is limited to twelve participants.
