The Friday Art Group     Push buttons to see show

The Art Group meets on Friday morning from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Meetings are in the Arts and Crafts Room opposite the elevator on the second floor. We welcomes all Senior Center members to visit or join us. If interested please contact Marion Hansen, Fine Art Group Chairperson, at (434) 974-5662.

Generally a still life setup is provided for subject matter and occasionally a model is engaged for portrait and figure studies. No formal instruction is provided, but members share their experience and knowledge with one another freely.  Helpful critiques of work are given upon request.

The group started in the early 90’s and counts more than 20 members this year. We come from different walks of life and have a variety of interests, but the passion we have for beauty and color brings us together, and the goal of a community of artists helps strengthen our commitment to one another. We have bloomed into a cheerful group of friends.

We are fortunate to have several outstanding local artists demonstrate their talents for all to appreciate here at the Senior Center.  This group continually shows their paintings along the second floor corridor.  Various examples of fine craftsmanship are displayed in the cabinet near the elevator on the first floor.
