SEEING BEYOND THE STRUCTURES [PORTRAITS OF THE LANDSCAPE]
Artists Reception:
First Friday, August 5, 5-7pm
Landscape artists of the past
endeavored to capture the majestic scenery that was often far removed from most
people’s lives. By contrast, artists Adam Bellefeuil, Rachel Campbell and Caitlin Cary have chosen to
memorialize the modest structures we interact with in our daily environment. We
stroll through residential streets, drive past fading buildings and visit neighborhood
businesses without really considering their sense of place and what they might
mean to the communities and individuals occupying them. The works in this
exhibition challenge us to stop and take notice.
On view August 3 – September 16

BLOG EXCERPT: Owning
Your Imagination
Whenever I conduct a writer’s workshop, I always learn something from the
experience. Whether it's an attitude or a question or, perhaps, an unexpected
answer from the audience, I always leave having realized some new truth that
helps me in my own writer's journey. This past week is a great example. It was
a busy week for Piedmont Laureate workshops. I conducted a workshop for
elementary school students, another for high school students, and still another
for adults. When I was done, I was left with the realization of how very
personal imagination is, how much it fuels a writer’s need to write, and how
big a role it plays in making a book your own. The week left me with a healthy
respect for the connection between a writer’s imagination and their voice. Read

Please welcome Sertoma Arts Center’s new drawing instructor, Stephen Cefalo! An artist in the traditions of
Symbolism and the Baroque, his relationship with art began with his very first memory: gazing
at the stained glass windows of Frauenkirche Cathedral in Nuremberg, Germany during his
christening at six months old. As a small child, he was fascinated by a
portrait of his grandfather in WWII Italy. As a five-year-old, he studied
renditions of velvet in presidential portraits during museum visits. At
age 12, he began lessons in oils. Stephen exhibits and is collected nationally and is published frequently
in popular art magazines as a featured artist and columnist.
Class Info
Stephen is currently
offering an Anatomy and Figure Drawing course at Sertoma, with plans to
continue teaching adult and teen drawing courses as well as painting and drawing workshops.
