Art Centers and the Like: The HeART of Art

September 2, 2024 By Debra Disman

Art and Cultural Centers are amazing places.

They are CENTERS. Centers of art and culture to be sure, but also centers of learning, personal and collective growth, education, care, community, cooperation and love.

Amazing to show in, but especially amazing in the services they provide, the opportunities they offer and the roles they play for their near and far communities.

I am going to explore these worthy and precious resources and entities in the next few posts, but firstly, I need to get my arms around them in a big, collective heARTfelt hug!

I will add to, or write further interactions of this post over time.  I would also like to write about Libraries, College and University Art Galleries and smaller galleries as exhibition spaces and hubs of community and world culture.

These are the art and cultural centers I have shown in over the last few years, essentially since 2018:
(I included some very special organizations such as Blue Roof Studios, Shoebox Arts and ArtShare LA in Los Angeles, CA, “We Are The Arts”/The Arts Council of Fayetteville|Cumberland County in Fayetteville, NC, the Hera Educational Foundation and Gallery in Wakefield RI, and the Springfield Art Association, in Springfield, IL, even though they don’t have the word “CENTER” in their monikers, as I believe they serve many of the same heART-FULL functions as those that do.)

EXHIBITIONISTA: “Alternative Fiber”

June 11, 2022 By Debra Disman

In celebration of alternative uses of fiber and textile material, The Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts  (LHUCA) is proud to present:

Alternative Fiber: A National Juried Exhibition.

In recent years the use of fiber and textile has greatly expanded creating art that no longer easily fits into the category of craft.  New art has been constructed utilizing these materials in both sculptural, two dimensional, and even installation practice.  LHUCA’s exhibition will focus on these ideas as we aim to create a juried art show highlighting the many alternative ideas present in these mediums.

I have two pieces in this exciting exhibition!
“Hopes and Fears and…” which won HONORABLE MENTION!
and
“Torrent and Tangle: Keep Your House in Order

Juror: Karena Bennett: Over the last two decades, Karena has worked with a variety of arts organizations across the Northwest ranging from small galleries to higher education institutions including most recently the Confluence Project and Caldera Arts. Currently, she serves as Executive Director of Surface Design Association (SDA), an international non-profit focused on fiber art and design. Since 1977, SDA has promoted artists around the world through exhibitions, events, and its quarterly publication, Surface Design Journal.

Founded in 1997, LHUCA, the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, is a nationally recognized private, 501(c)(3) non-profit fine arts center. Located in the heart of the Lubbock Arts District, LHUCA has a unique four block campus that offers exciting spaces and opportunities for the visual and performing arts. LHUCA is the largest contemporary art center between Dallas/Fort Worth, TX and Santa Fe, NM. This exhibition will be on display for First Friday Art Trails reaching over 4,000+ visitors. LHUCA is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 am to 5 pm. Admission to our galleries is always free. For more information on our many arts programs, visit us at www.lhuca.org
