MCLEAN PROJECT FOR THE ARTS' NEW EXHIBITION OPENS NOVEMBER 29
November 29 – January 12
Reception Thursday, November 29, 7 – 9 PM
Free and open to the public
Emerson Gallery:
Transform, Transport, Transpose: Works by Leigh Taylor Mickelson, Judit Varga and Lars Westby
Each of these artists begins with ordinary objects or shapes and transforms them into lively, animated sculpture full of humor and poetry. Using clay as a primary material, these three artists are able to bring an instinctive spontaneity to the highly individualized process of transporting the mundane and pedestrian into a realm electrified through imagination.
Atrium Gallery:
Passing Fancies (Everyone’s a Stranger Here): Paintings by Lynn Putney
Using an abstract vocabulary, Lynn Putney creates small, subtle paintings that glow with a quiet, magical intensity. Arranged in constellation-like formation, the works evolve through a process of sifting and distilling, as Putney layers the thoughts, feelings and visual stimuli accumulated through daily living into composition that spark universal recognition.
Ramp Gallery:

HAMILTONIAN GALLERY
HAMILTONIAN GALLERY reports that the first phase of the renovation project for their new home at 1353 U Street NW is well underway. The site is situated in the heart of the 14th/U Street corridor and the building is a historic building from the 1920s. Upon completion of the renovation project in June 2008, HAMILTONIAN ARTISTS and HAMILTONIAN GALLERY will occupy the store-front level of the building. Hopefully, another art space or art-related business will occupy the second floor space.
The HAMILTONIAN BLOG has launched on Blogger to provide timely updates on the progress of the renovation project and other happenings related to both Hamiltonian Artists and Hamiltonian Gallery.

Christopher Myers reacts to today’s glut of digital imagery by relying upon the ease of point and shoot technology in Standing on Two Eyes.

Lecture by US entrepreneur Bill Strickland at IDB Cultural Center
The Art of Leadership
Thurs Dec 6 at 6:30 p.m.
Presented in cooperation with Artomatic, Inc., the Washington DC Economic Partnership, and the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
"The use of art to change students' attitudes is at the heart of my vision of education. The goal is not to produce artists but to find a tailored approach to learning that will redirect troubled young people, get them into college and on to productive lives. I see a connection between the creativity instilled by a love of the arts and the skills needed for business success." said Bill Strickland. For the past 40 years, Bill Strickland has been in the business of shaping - and changing - lives. It's a business model that works. At the heart of their unique interrelationship, Manchester Craftsmen's Guild and Bidwell Training Center, Inc. share a dedication to helping disadvantaged residents of the Pittsburgh area by offering them exceptional quality educational and cultural opportunities. Strickland will describe his journey from inner-city youth to head of an organization that fosters art, occupational skills, and the equal availability of quality of life for every person. "I wanted to build something that would give the people who come here a vision of what life could be, to create an environment that says that life is good," said Strickland.
