Loveland Artists Collective Presents A National Juried Book Arts Show:
The HeART of the Book
February 14th – March 28th, 2020
"The book has long been treasured as a literary work of art, but it is often forgotten in the realm of visual art. Book arts have been around as long as humanity has been writing and reading, but within the last couple of decades, the book arts have become increasingly diverse and innovative. The Loveland Artists Collective has been invited to show this group exhibition at Artworks, which is the largest Studio Artist Community in Northern Colorado dedicated to advancing the contemporary arts and visual artists.
Please join us for a wonderful event culminating my Artist Residency at the Sunland-Tujunga Branch Library, supported by the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
On display will be handmade books created by participants in the workshops, including fun and fascinating Flag Books made by 9th grade Visual and Performing Arts English class students from the nearby Verdugo Hills High School!
This is an event for the whole family and the whole community.
Come and enjoy refreshments, enjoying the handmade books on display, and making your own book in the community room!
Join us for a unique celebration, and community art project from noon to 1PM
CELEBRATING
Thelma Terry: Athlete, Educator, and Community Leader
A Women’s History Month Celebration
Saturday, March 7, 2020 | 10 AM - 1 PM
Virginia Avenue Park, Thelma Terry Building
2200 Virginia Ave, Santa Monica
"In observance of Women’s History Month, Virginia Avenue Park, 18th Street Arts Center, and the Quinn Research Center are teaming up to celebrate the life and work of Thelma Terry, a community leader with a lasting legacy around teen recreation, athletics, and arts education in the Pico Neighborhood of Santa Monica. Through her life’s work, Thelma Terry touched so many in the community, but has very little presence online or in the history books. Through the efforts of Quinn Research Center, researcher Sabrina Fields, Virginia Avenue Park, and 18th Street Arts Center, Terry will finally have a Wikipedia page that matches her profound influence in the community. The Quinn Research Center provided photos and historical information on Thelma Terry from their archives for this page, and 18th Street Arts Center was able to provide some first-hand oral history accounts from their culturemapping90404.org project. Through art-making, sharing stories, local history presentations, food, and more, the community will celebrate Thelma Terry’s legacy at the Thelma Terry Center on Saturday March 7, 2020 from 10am-1pm.
