Art You Can Afford at Theatre Art Galleries in High Point
To celebrate the Holiday season, Theatre Art Galleries, Inc. (TAG) in High Point, NC, is pleased to announce the opening of three exhibitions showing affordable original artworks by leading artists. The exhibit will be on display through Dec. 19.
Rhett Thurman
Unframed & Under 300 in the Main Gallery is a group show with some of the most popular artists that have exhibited at TAG in the past. These small works will not be framed and are priced below $300. The artists who are participating include: David Loren Bass from New Mexico, local artists: John Gall, Andrea Campbell, Bill Fick, Harold Frontz, Bill Gramley, Jeff Hankins, Ann Johnson, Billy McClain, Denise Landi Myers, Michael Northuis, Roy Nydorf, Jack Stratton and Charleston artists: Linda Fantuzzo, Bill Jameson and Rhett Thurman.
Nature Balanced, in Gallery B features Winston-Salem, NC, artist and teacher W. Weston Hammond who will exhibit recent works of landscape painting and sculpture. Hammond's acrylic paintings are vibrant, impressionistic landscapes, reminiscent of Gauguin or Van Gogh. His sculptural forms are a conjoining of metals, wood, stones and found objects and are bold statements on the environment. The artist is concerned with the energy between man and nature. "The conflicting pull of nature and society inspire me to create with an effort to balance the two inside myself," said Hammond.
W.
Weston Hammond
A native of California, Hammond has spent much of his adult life in North Carolina and began his art career here. In addition to his personal artwork, he is an active and innovative teacher of the arts. He has led programs for children and adults at Sawtooth Center and the Enrichment Center in Winston-Salem and is currently teaching multi-media art at The Gardener's Cottage Studio in Greensboro, NC, and owns the Dragonfly Artist Studio and Showroom in Winston-Salem.
Hammond was also chosen to conduct the TAG-into-the-Schools
program this year. He is visiting ten area middle and high schools
to share his experiences as a professional artist and assist with
the student's sculptural projects. These art works will be exhibited
in TAG's 24th Annual Student Show in March 2000.
