On Wednesday, February 24, at 6:00 p.m., students
of FUNtastic ART will present their personal renditions or
interpretations inspired by art masterpieces from the Metropolitan and
The MOMA art museums in New York City at The Possum Trot Art Gallery in
the J. Bryan Floyd Community Center, 1030 Possum Trot Road in North
Myrtle Beach. The art students will also be dressed like famous artists
or artworks. FUNtastic ART students range in age from five to 17 years
old.
The
event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be
served. Members of the public are also encouraged to dress up as their
favorite art piece or artist, however, there is no requirement to do so.
Shown
at left is a photo of 16 year old FUNtastic Art student Rachel Simmons’
painting, The False Mirror of Magritte, which will be on display at the
event.
According to FUNtastic Art Instructor Nina Ortiz, “This is a family-friendly, fun event so don’t worry if you don’t ‘know art.’”
Following
the event, the artwork will continue to be on display at The Possum
Trot Art Gallery. Several new pieces will also be on display.
In
FUNtastic ART children get to explore basic hands-on art instruction
and creation! In their weekly classes they learn how to use art tools
and supplies wisely and creatively with a wide variety of mediums,
including water colors, pencils, acrylic paints, and recycled materials.
The program helps develop creativity that exists in everyone in a fun
and friendly environment.
