The Woodlands turns 50 this year!
The Woodlands has a marvelous collection of public art, and we are very fortunate to live in an environment where we can regularly encounter beautiful and thought-provoking sculptures, murals and art benches, on a day-to-day basis. However, there is also a lesser-known, thriving community of artists, busy in their studios, garages, attics and spare bedrooms, immersed in their passions of drawing, sculpting, painting, creating with fiber, photography, clay, oil, graphite and even digital imagery, often working until the wee hours of the day.
Visual art is a means of self-expression, a portrayal of ideas, ideals, statements, thoughts and feelings, in which the artist anticipates a connection with the viewer.
“A Golden Vision: through the eyes of the artist”, is an exhibition of the visual artists in our midst, presented by nonprofit, The Woodlands Arts Council and sponsored by The Howard Hughes Corporation and The Woodlands Township. “This exhibition is a showcase of the broad spectrum of art and our many talented artists in The Woodlands area, we really are a creative hub” says exhibition curator, Annette Palmer. The invitational exhibition denotes a selection of our independent artists and includes many who are represented by the growing number of galleries and art leagues in the region, the exhibition spans everything from figurative art to abstract art presented in both 2D and 3D. “A Golden Vision” unites our community with the joy of visual art.
“This exhibition marks the celebration of a new stylistic voyage featuring area artists” commented The Woodlands Arts Council Executive Director Jenny Carattini-Wright.
“A Golden Vision” opens on Thursday May 9th between 6 - 8:30 pm and will be on display until July 11th. Viewing hours are 1-4 pm every Tues, Weds and Thurs, at The Woodlands Arts Council Gallery on 9450, Grogans Mill Rd, ste.160.
