SEASON 2015

REFLECTIONSEXHIBITIONSREFLECTIONS FROM THE FIRE

Longboat Key Center for the Arts will be collaborating with

the esteemed Habatat Galleries(MI) to present “Reflections

from the Fire” two extraordinary contemporary glass events.

In the Durante Gallery we will be presenting two dozen artists

representing 13 countries from North America, Europe,

Australia and Asia. Each artist has distinguished themselves

not only in their respective countries but throughout the

world. Every technique in glass will be represented, each

created with the unique vision coupled with consummate

skill. The exhibition provides an instant education into the

world of studio glass and a visual experience that will last

a life time!

Accompanying the Durante Gallery exhibition of international

glass art, we will be hosting the first Contemporary Glass

Auction to occur in Florida! This body of work was again

assembled by Habatat Galleries (MI) and has examples of

earlier work by many of the masters. This too is an international

event and will present historic works in the careers of many

of these noted artists. There will also be many surprises,

famous works that have just recently come on the market,

and special works revealing unique approaches to making

art! A catalogue for this event is available.

From its humble beginnings, in a garage in Toledo in

1962, Studio Glass has become a medium of astounding

versatility. In our Durante Gallery, you will see everything

from large castings to intricate work created over a torch.

Today there are an estimated 15,000 artists working

with glass. This exhibit is juried to reveal the innovators,

visionaries and historic figures in this field. Unique to

many exhibitions of this kind, most of these works will be

available for purchase.

FILM SCREENING AND LECTURE: My Glass OdysseyWednesday, February 4 3 - 5 pm

Follow John Waterman, writer and director, across the United States as he

meets glass artists and studio owners gleaning insights about their inspiration

and engagement in the creative process.

Sketching on location is a wonderful way to preserve travel memories. You may

forget where you snapped a particular photo but you will always remember when

you produced the images in your sketchbook. If you enjoy watercolor or oils

these quick drawings are a rich source for studio work.

You will need a sketchbook 5” x 8” or as much larger as you prefer. Remember,

you may be using it in airports, cruise ships or subway cars. Also bring a soft

pencil and gum eraser. We will give you two brush pens that will help give your

work a professional look. All skill levels welcome.

Jack is a Signature Member of the Baltimore and Suncoast Watercolor Societies

and has taught plein air and studio classes for a number of years. He attended the

Maryland Institute College of Art and recently completed a series of seventeen

paintings for Crystal Cruise Lines that are currently appearing in National

Geographic, Architectural Digest, Forbes and several Travel magazines.

other innovative strategies for making expressive contemporary pieces. All skill

An internationally represented American artist, Bill studied painting and drawing

with renowned teachers Victor D’Amico at the Museum of Modern Art’s Institute

of Modern Art and leading American figurative painter Fletcher Martin at the

SCULPTUREINTRODUCTION TO FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE Instructor: Greg Marra

Wednesday, February 25 & Thursday, February 26

11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Bldg. 400, Studio B

$250

Figurative sculpture has been the traditional method of introducing students to

form, space, and proportion in sculpture. Students work from the model with clay,

creating sculpture from observation. We will be sculpting focusing on the gesture

of the human form. We will not have time to perfect detail but we have enough to

create a marquette or smaller model/sketch of what we would like to enlarge later.

This exercise is invaluable to a sculptor or those looking to explore the human

form in the 3rd dimension. Clay, armature and clay sculpting tools supplied.

Greg Marra, master sculptor, dedicates his life to the pursuit of classical historical

statuary to be honored in the United States and other countries. After receiving

a BFA in 1998 at The University of Hartford, he studied in The Tirolean region

of northern Italy. Upon returning, he extended his education to earn an MFA in

2001 at the New York Academy of Figurative Arts in Manhattan. After returning

to Europe and spending a total of three years in Austria, Greg came back to the

US once again, with a renewed sense of patriotism, which he incorporates in his

work. Greg is endorsed by congressman and senators from each state as well as

the Chase gallery.
