Art Exhibits
During July at the Library:
Arts/Wayland Art Show: Arts/Wayland members have put up an art show in the Raytheon Room for the summer.
Exhibit by Ellen Aresty: Arts/Wayland member Ellen Aresty displays her unique collections of hand-crafted jewelry and hand-woven items in the lower level display case in July. Ten years of experience go into the scarves and other woven pieces, while her crafting of jewelry started only three years ago. From unexpected designs to her lush choice of colors and materials, she provides a feast for the eyes.
Neil Tischler Nature Photography: Tischler concentrates primarily on displaying the marvelous details in nature, with occasional studies of forms and shapes on a larger scale. All images are taken spontaneously with a hand-held camera in natural ambient light. Enlargements are printed on an Epson seven-color ink jet printer with archival quality pigment inks.
Wayland Town Building ArtSpace, through September 10: Margret Krakauer has organized a group show for her students in the Wayland Cultural Council Art Gallery, located in the Town Building. There will be a reception in honor of the artists in the foyer of the entrance to the Town Building on Monday evening, August 11, from 6:45-8pm. The students exhibiting are Dorothy Egan, Evelyn Ekmejian, Eberhard Frey, Nancy Gerald, Bill Hearne, Wendy Sobel, Padma Kannabrian, Shirley Knowland, Seema Mysore, Margaret Hill, and Yvonne Drymiotis. Margret Krakauer teaches adult studio classes in the Wayland Art Center through Wayland Park and Recreation. The students work in a variety of techniques, including graphite and colored pencils, pen and ink, pastel, and watercolor and acrylic painting. Each student chooses a medium and subject, and works independently during the class. Students have the opportunity to develop skill in one medium, but also to explore and experiment in others. A longtime student of internationally known local artist George Dergalis, Margret works predominantly in watercolor, but also enjoys other media, including sculpture. She is currently working on a butterfly series in watercolor. She travels often to Italy and France and loves to paint scenes from her explorations. She is particularly intrigued by Provence, and has produced a series of watercolors of that region. In addition to her adult classes at the Wayland Art Center, Margret has co-taught a Summer Arts Workshop with potter Phyllis Biegun, also sponsored by Wayland Park and Recreation.
Textural Fantasies, Weston Library, for the month of July. The exhibit of works by Wayland artist Phyllis Stone Aliber is a mixed-media event, including her most recent work as well as others from her collection. All pieces will be displayed in the library's gallery and adjoining Community Room.
