COLUMBIA S.C.--- City Art celebrates the holiday
season with lights, festivities, and art. Join us for Vista Lights
Thursday, November 18, 2004 at 6:00 p.m. The gallery will feature K. Wayne
Thornley’s solo exhibit, live demonstrations of figurative sketches, and
a sneak preview of Trustus Theatre’s The Rocky Horror Show. The
City Art fine art supply store will be open to highlight fine
artists supplies and gifts.
City Art will present Columbia artist K. Wayne
Thornley in the Main Gallery. Thornley explores layering and etching
techniques in painting as he reflects on his life’s experiences.
Thornley etches primitive
lines, shapes, and symbols into layers of acrylic paint on canvas.
The subtle designs are simple and eloquent. The work ranges in size
and price to suit all levels of art collectors and will make great gifts
for the holiday season.
The gallery
also showcases the work of 30 to 40
established and emerging artists.
The evening of Vista Lights
is a great time to meet many of these artists in person and to get to know
the individuals behind the art.
City
Art’s fine artists supply store will be highlighting many art-related
gifts for holiday gift-giving such as painting and drawing sets for
artists of all levels. As art professionals, the City Art staff can show
shoppers interesting new products and gifts for the artist. Artist easels
will be on sale in the gallery, and feature some of the finest easels made
from hand-rubbed, oil finished, solid oak. Easels, the perfect tool for
the artist, also can be used as a beautiful piece of furniture to display
art or to add the finishing accessory to a room.
Class
registration will be open for winter art classes during Vista Lights. With
City Art’s convenient downtown
location and evening class times, the classes are designed for the adult
artist.
Art classes make great gifts.
City
Art also features fine framing. Add the finishing touch to original art
with the finest in custom framing. Plan early!
Ray Paschal,
sketch artist for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, will be
giving exciting demonstrations of figurative sketches. He will be creating
likenesses for City Art guests based on oral descriptions.
Don’t miss
the Sneak Preview of Trustus Theatre’s The Rocky Horror Show. City
Art co-owner and director of The Rocky
Horror Show Randy Hanna will share a taste of this upcoming
musical. The cast of The
Rocky Horror Show will be performing. The
show will open December 3, 2004 at Trustus Theatre.
