HANDS-ON ART WORKSHOPS
Throughout the year, SSG sponsors ten hands-on art workshops as part of the Community Initiative, an outreach program designed to reach out to our underserved neighbors in the Charlottesville area. Workshops are offered throughout the year, in which local artists lead participants in a variety of artmaking activities. The workshops are strategically planned to supplement the club members' art education in their local schools.

Artist Janet Bruce, featured in the exhibition “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell”, creates visual statements about light, color, and place. With complex relationships between layers of form and line, each piece by Bruce is a “dance between chaos and control”. — Janet Bruce, “Wisteria”, 2015, oil on canvas, 48 x 48 inches. — #ssg #secondstreetgallery #cville #charlottesville #joanmitchell #ladypainters #abstractart #abstractpainting #supportlocalartists #virginiaartists #abstractexpressionism #oilpainting #janetbruce

When life imitates art 💕 Loving the use of color and bold strokes in Molly Herman’s work, “Sylvia’s Saga”, 2017, oil on linen, 50 x 88 (diptych). — On the subject of mark-making, Herman says, “my process is a search to find alchemy in the mix between a basic unit: a mark or stroke and how it transitions to the pictorial, yet remains a painted moment”. — “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell” on view at Second Street Gallery until July 19. 📸 @jesuspinophotography — #ssg #joanmitchell #mollyherman #nycartist #newyorkcity #cville #charlottesville #cvilleartists #groupexhibition #contemporaryart #artgallery #ladypainters #abstractart #painting #oilpainting
