Dear Friends, What better way to celebrate a new season than with new art workshops. Teens can experiment in various mediums and processes in Teen Specialized Art Workshops (Page 11) while adults can discover Color Image Transfer Process for Polymar Clay (Page 13). Take the first step to be a participating Studio Arts Festival artist by reviewing event and application information at irvinefineartscenter.org . The annual festival will take place Saturday, June 1, and showcase local artists and their original works of art. Support local artisans working in ceramics, sculpture, jewelry, painting, photography, fiber, glass, and more. Vendor applications close March 1, 2024. City of Irvine winter exhibitions celebrate milestones in visual history, contemporary art, and the fabric of our community. Catch Dorothea Lange's California: 1935–1942 at the Great Park Gallery through December 31; the exhibition highlights the work of one of the twentieth century’s most important photo- documentarians. On view through February 3 at the Irvine Fine Arts Center are Revision and Into the Garden , two exhibitions curated in collaboration with the artist collective Durden and Ray. These exhibitions celebrate experimentation with form, material, process, and perspective. Don’t forget to visit City Hall, December 11 through March 22, to view Paul Gardner: A Retrospective , an exhibition that celebrates the exceptional art of Paul Gardner, a longtime instructor at the center who passed away in 2023. For our young art enthusiasts, mark your calendar for February 15 when registration for spring and summer arts and culinary camps open. Camps fill quickly so be sure to note the first day of registration and review camp themes released on yourirvine.org February 1.
Creatively yours,
