Hello Everyone! Please join us for our February Program!
“The Challenge of Seeing,”
featuring Kathy Gergo, will be an exciting members-only VAA
opportunity to see Kathy evaluate and offer suggestions on current
works by selected local artists. Each artist featured will bring two
works, one successful and one with challenges, to be evaluated by
Kathy in her studio while everyone attending has the chance to learn.
Kathy brings great experience and
knowledge to this program. A native of Hungary whose art studies at
the University of Budapest were interrupted by the 1956 revolution,
Kathy arrived in the United States and enrolled at the Cleveland
Institute of Art in 1961. She moved to New Orleans and supplemented
her studies by taking courses at Tulane and workshops with some of
the country’s finest watercolor teachers. Since becoming a
professional artist in 1974, Kathy has taught watercolor, given
workshops, lectured, and served as juror for numerous art
organizations. In 1986 she became a faculty member of the New
Orleans Academy of Fine Art.
Kathy moved to Vicksburg in the wake of
Katrina and now makes it her home. She has graciously offered her
hospitality and talent in helping other artists as the program for
the Vicksburg Art Association on February 7 in her studio, beginning at 7 pm. If anyone is interested in being
one of the featured artists, please contact Linda Hall at
601-994-4618 or pigoleta@yahoo.com.
Timing and seating have limited the number receiving this evaluation
to twelve, so please respond quickly. And, of course, every member is
welcome to come and participate by observing only.
Please join us for “The Challenge of
Seeing” at seven on February seventh!

Travel Journal Workshop
November 9, 2011
12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Old Constitution Firehouse Gallery
Want to make your next trip last forever in your memory? Travel
journaling has been shown to imprint memories of your vacations and
journeys in your mind’s eye. Beth Dean, an impressionist painter
currently residing on a like in Madison County, is coming to teach this
journaling technique during a one-hour, lunch-included, workshop on
Wednesday, November 9, 2011, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Old
Constitution Firehouse Gallery in Vicksburg. You do not need to be an artist or even know how to sketch to learn this technique!
Beth began painting as a child, studied under many local artists, and
was classically trained in her early fine arts education. After college
she maintained a highly successful design career for over twenty years.
Having vowed to “go back to painting” professionally, Beth has committed
herself to that desire. Her impressionistic paintings in oil on
masonite and canvas are done both in her studio and en plein air. She
regularly attends workshops, studying under nationally recognized
artists to expand her education. Beth also conducts oil painting
classes, plein air workshops, and journaling workshops.
Beth
experiences art in everyday, fleeting moments. It is this experience
that she will share during this workshop in November at the Firehouse
Gallery (outside on the patio if weather permits). Beth will describe,
demonstrate, and provide examples of her work in travel journals. Then
you will get the chance to produce the first page in your own journal
while enjoying a light lunch on site.
The cost of the workshop,
sponsored by the Vicksburg Art Association, is $50 for VAA members and
$55 for non-members. This price includes all supplies – journal, sketch
pen, watercolor set, and lunch. You may sign up by sending a check
payable to the Vicksburg Art Association, to P. O. Box 1251, Vicksburg,
MS, 39180, indicating payment is for the Travel Journal Workshop. There
is a class limit of twelve (12), so don’t wait too late. Deadline for
registration is Saturday, October 29, 2011.
You may read more about Beth and see some of her work at www.bgdean.fineartstudioonline.com. Selected painting will also be on display on the day of the workshop at the Firehouse Gallery.
