Visual Artists See “the Blues” at PCAC Gallery
While musicians interpret “the Blues” as a style of jazz or melancholy, visual artists see “the Blues” through color, theme, or however their creative minds desire. Visitors to the gallery at the Plateau Creative Arts Center (PCAC) will appreciate both the expected and unexpected use of “the Blues.”
Once a month, the Plateau Creative Art Center’s gallery exhibit changes. On Friday, July 6, the Judged and Juried Art Show exhibit will be replaced by “The Blues” gallery exhibit. Remember to see the Judged and Juried Show before it closes, and beginning July 6, find out what “the Blues” means to the visual artists of the Art Guild at Fairfield Glade.
The Gallery at the PCAC exhibits original artwork created by the members of the Art Guild. Visitors enjoy viewing quality artwork including watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastels, colored pencil, photography, mixed media and also 3-D work including pottery, sculpture, and jewelry. PCAC visitors not only enjoy the gallery, they also learn about the many art classes and day-trips offered by the Art Guild. In addition, visitors often get a bonus opportunity to see a class in progress or watch the open painting, beading, or figure drawing sessions taking place in the art studio.
The PCAC welcomes visitors seven days a week. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday: 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. and also Saturday and Sunday: 1 P.M. to 4 P.M. The artwork is available for purchase at reasonable prices. Come enjoy the gallery exhibit at the Plateau Creative Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Drive (off Peavine Road).
