Make Art at Open Studios with Meg Winnecour | Mondays through Fridays, July 2-26
July 2-7… cyanotypes and free-stitching
July 8-14…acrylic nature portraits
July 15-21…watercolor and dye explorations
July 22-26…cyanotypes and free stitching
Meg Winnecour will run an open art studio for a month, a space in which she will make her work (acrylic nature portraits on panel, watercolor and dye explorations on paper, and free-stitched cyanotypes) in a public way, and invite people to come into the space and make some work of their own, with or without her help. She will work in a new medium each week (cyanotype, acrylic paint on panel or canvas, and watercolor on paper). Her dream would be for her West Asheville neighbors to stop in for an art experience on their way to the bakery or the library, folks out running errands stopping in to see what’s going on and then getting pulled into making a piece of their own, dear friends stopping in for a chat. More than anything, Meg wants to add beauty and connection to her neighbors’ lives through time spent chatting and making a piece of art to take home.
Meg will be sharing the residency space with Ben Berry, who will be hosting open studios on Saturdays in July; Ben welcomes folks to stop in to contribute to a book he’s writing. You can learn more about Ben’s events here.
