Junction City Arts Council

Members sound off

We want our members to tell us about themselves and what they like about the arts. Each month, we will publish a letter from our mailbag, and the lucky winner will get a free art print (what could it be?). Here is something to start you all off: Who is your favorite artist and why? It could be anyone from the past or present, local or international, famous or not-so-much (famous only in their friends, family's, and admirer's minds). Who knows? You could be the stepping stone to them becoming international superstars!

January Featured Artist:

Our artist of the month for January is Rhonda Mulleneaux and her mosaic creations. Her reception will be on the 25th of January at 3:00 pm at the Opera House and Cultural Center, which also happens to coincide with their open house! So come on down and get the tour, as well as some tasty snacks.

For all of you who helped make the 2014 Winter art walk a success: thank you! We all had a great time and got a chance to see some incredible arts and crafts. We are looking forward to next year's festivals (especially the June Arts in the Park event) and hope to see you all there.

teen classes are starting!

Beginning February 7 at 3:00 PM we are conducting classes for 11-15 year old young adults, These classes will be conducted in the same manner as our adult classes, with monthly modules costing $40.00 per person for 4 sessions focusing on a specific discipline. February's classes will be on basic drawing techniques to include composition, elements of design, shading, values, and others. A minimum of 4 students are needed to conduct the class, fees are non-refundable once class has started, payable on registration or the first day of class.

registration for adult classes is ongoing. we need you!

Sad news, but with optimism. Our first month did not see enough registrants to actually hold a class. We will try to give an acrylic painting class later on in the year, but we have already begun working on our February class, which is pottery taught by a very talented and fairly new JC resident, Meg Von der Linden.
Registration is $40 per person, and we supply the materials, instruction, and classroom. We will meet every Thursday at 6:00 pm at the C.L. Hoover Opera House and Cultural Center, starting on the 5th of February. Registration begins NOW. Contact us to register for this class, and check out our Calendar page of upcoming and proposed events.
