ARTOMATIC ASSOCIATED EVENTS: KICK OFF JANUARY 12
Artomatic Associated Events – Bethesda Artswalk Opening Receptions and Performances Friday, January 12th from 6 – 9 pm.
With no grand venue available for a huge Artomatic free-for-all, the galleries in Bethesda are hosting group exhibitions showcasing works they have selected from artists who responded to a call for entries by uploading their images to the Artomatic virtual gallery at Artdc.org. Over 250 artists posted over 800 images for selection. These Bethesda venues, with leadership from Catriona Fraser of Fraser Gallery, have worked with the Bethesda Urban Partnership's Arts and Entertainment District members and Artomatic to establish and implement this project.
Participating venues are: Creative Partners Gallery, Fraser Gallery, Gallery Neptune, Heineman Myers Contemporary Art, Joy of Motion Dance Center, Round House Theatre, Washington School of Photography/Capitol Arts Network, and The Writer’s Center.
In addition to group exhibitions (which incorporate the work of 30 painters, printmakers, photographers and sculptors), the January and February events will also cover a vibrant range of performance offerings, including open dance rehearsals and free Salsa lessons, artist talks, “assembly line” portrait sittings, poetry readings, and live music sessions, as well as networking opportunities and portfolio workshops for Metro area creative professionals.
Show your support and come out to the Grand Opening Events on January 12th – weather forecast is still unseasonably warm, you’ll be craving a walk-about, and there will be lots of entertainment.
