SUMMARY:“From There to Here” Exhibit: Featuring Bruce Bowman & Sally Sutton
DESCRIPTION:This September we will be joined by painters\, Bruce Bowman and Sally Sutton\, previously represented by New Elements Gallery.  “From There to Here” will feature the vivid and colorful paintings of two artists. \nBruce’s painting style uses broad palette knives which allow his work to be quick and expressive and allows for the ability to create sharp edges and tight lines. His wet-on-wet application of paint creates an impasto technique providing dimension and texture. Bruce’s approach to painting is refreshingly opposite of his work as an architect\, which requires accuracy and realism. \nSally enjoys the challenge of capturing light while experimenting with rich color combinations while contrasting them with deep shadows using brushstrokes that create movement and energy. Combining her love of nature with en plein aire painting\, she strives to share her personal reflections of the locations with her viewers. \nJoin us in the gallery on Sunday\, September 20th\, 2-5pm for our Artist Reception. Enjoy special refreshments\, meet our artists\, and enjoy live music by violinist Shirley Lebo! This exhibit will run through November 1st\, alongside a new selection of featured works by our 30+ Gallery Artists.

SUMMARY:"Minnie Evans: Draw or Die"- screening at Jengo's Playhouse
DESCRIPTION:The one-hour documentary film Minnie Evans: Draw or Die explores the inspirational life and artistic mastery of one of the most important African-American artists of the 20th century. Minnie Evans was born in 1892 and raised by her grandmother in Wilmington\, NC\, during a time of racial turmoil in the city. In the early 1940s\, Minnie began her visionary art in earnest\, propelled by her faith and dreams. \nThe documentary — its title comes from a mysterious voice Evans heard asking\, “Why don’t you draw or die?” — coincides with a national resurgence of interest in Evans’ work\, with multiple touring museum exhibitions. \nJoin us for a social hour at the Jengo’s Backyard Bar before the film showing at 6:30pm! There will be a community discussion with the filmmaker and community partners after the screening. This screening is brought to you by South Arts\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, UNCW’s Kenan Auditorium\, Cucalorus Film Foundation\, and WHQR.
