Lowell -- The Miracle Worker

Recently our mixed media artisan Nancy Mellon decided to challenge to our wood turner Lowell Converse. She gave him a kitchen knife that she had received as a wedding present many years ago. It had seen better days certainly, but this was her "go to" knife and leave it to Lowell to breathe new life into a beloved everyday item and make it beautiful.

"Lowell is a miracle worker!"

Artisans Out and About -- Color and Light -- Libby Rudolf

There will be a reception for the artist at the Winds on March 30 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.  The exhibition is in honor of Vanessa, Libby’s sister-in-law who died last year, and twenty percent of art sale proceeds will go to Dayton Children’s Hospital.

Open Community Art Show at Village Artisans

"March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb". As the members of Village

Artisans were discussing themes for their next Open Community Art Show, they

wondered how many different ways the very creative artists of Yellow Springs could

interpret this phrase in their work?

The challenge to all community artists is to express your vision of “The Lion and The

Lamb” in a piece of 2 or 3 dimensional work for the March/April exhibit in the Village

Artisans Lobby Gallery. All are invited to use your imagination and become part of the

next gallery show. The spring theme may be interpreted broadly.

The deadline for entries is March 1, 2014. Entry forms will be available at Village

Artisans, 100 Corry Street. They may also be found at the Arts Council Gallery,

Unfinished Creations and online at www.shopvillageartisans.com. A $10.00 entry fee is

requested and there is a 15% commission for any sold pieces.

Village Artisans will host an Artist Reception on Friday, March 21, 2014 from 6-9 pm.

There will be refreshments and fun. Exhibitors, their friends and family and the entire

community is invited to view the artwork and share snacks and a good time.
