January Exhibit At The Gallery At 48 Natoma

Abstract art dates back to the early 1900’s when artists began to paint abstract art as a result of a deliberate artistic and philosophical development. 

Two acclaimed artists’ work in different media will be showcased in this time-honored style in the next exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom, Abstracts in Fiber and Paint.

Joe Strickland will exhibit his newest series of paintings in mixed-media, and Joan Dyer will show her unique fabric art. The exhibit opens on January 24 and continues through March 6, 2014.

Strickland has been recognized for his unique use of multiple mediums in his work; pushing a medium in order to uncover an inventive method of using it in unconventional means.

Joe Strickland’s paintings are water-based pigments mixed with oil resulting in incredible textures, values and hues. His unique technique combined with a background in serigraphy has inspired him to push the boundaries to invent new ways of expression in the fine art of printmaking.

Joan Dyer’s fabric art is created entirely by an intuitive process, with which she builds her designs fairly quickly and freely. All of her art quilts are her original designs, generally depicting abstract forms from nature.  Joan Dyer’s style has evolved utilizing curved piecing and organic shapes, generally with warm colors.  “I learned traditional methods of piecing by hand when I began this journey with fabric, but soon began to enjoy the design phase of fabric artistry.”

Dyer’s collection of fabrics includes mostly her own hand-dyed and hand-painted cottons and silks.  Fabrics with various surface designs, using discharge and resist techniques, are often included.  She collects a wide variety of unique pieces including African and Asian batiks, home decorator fabrics, and interesting pieces from around the world.

RockSTAR Music Education's Winter Showcase Wednesday & Thursday

RockSTAR Music Education takes over Halftime Bar & Grill as elementary school rock bands from around Placer County gather to live out their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies on Wednesday and Thursday, December 18th and 19th from 6:30-7:30p.m.  for RockSTAR’s 2nd Annual Winter Showcase.

RockSTAR Music Education, a subdivision of California-based non-profit enrichment and education organization STAR Education, has made it possible for these practiced young musicians to live the dream as they showcase what they’ve learned playing both the classics we love and even their own original songs.

Over 500 people are expected to show up to celebrate these pint-sized rockers’ musical talents, hard work and dedication. These 6-12 year olds are revved up and ready to rock; decked out in funky clothes, dyed hair, and fake tattoos. The venue will be packed throughout the evening as friends, fans, family and music education enthusiasts gather in support of Sacramento’s RockSTAR mini-musicians!

STAR Education, is a charitable 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization committed to helping students reach their full potential by offering affordable extended academic, recreational and enrichment programs; supporting and enhancing school curricula; inspiring student achievement; and expanding the cultural base of young people. For over 25 years, STAR has partnered with schools throughout California to involve students in our innovative, quality programs taught by exceptional, highly- trained instructors.

RockSTAR, a STAR Education program, was founded nine years ago with the fundamental mission of bringing music back into schools that had slashed their own music programs because of budget cuts. With celebrity support from such rock icons as The Black Keys, Slash, Santana, Britney Spears, Taylor Dayne, DMC, Chris Slade of AC/DC, Gene Simmons, Sammy Hagar and more, this is the most established and effective after school music program in California. By harnessing the cognitive, social and creative benefits of music education, RockSTAR allows children to learn, live large, let loose, hone musical skills, practice teamwork, and develop a sense of professionalism. Their programs are in over 100 elementary schools in California, Tennessee and New York. RockSTAR brings music education back into schools and into the lives of children through an exciting, innovative and relevant format.

For more information, please email rockstar@starsacramento.org or call (916) 632-8417.
