Arts exhibitor Vinita Voogd
PRINTMAKING AND EARLY CALIFORNIA ART TO BE ILLUMINATED AT “ART TALKS: A LECTURE SERIES” JULY 24TH AND JULY 26TH AT THE FESTIVAL OF ARTS
Laguna Beach, CA — On July 24th and July 26th, Festival visitors are invited to explore the medium of printmaking and survey early California art, as the informative special event series “Art Talks” continues.
Forerunners to the art of printmaking go back centuries, even millennia. On Tuesday July 24th from 12pm-1pm, Festival of Arts exhibitor Vinita Voogd will lead an exploration of process and issues facing the modern printmaker. The discussion will be especially interesting to those who plan to attend Family Art Day at the Festival of Arts on Saturday July 21st, since there will be an enormous steamroller present that day to roll out prints for children and adults alike.
On Thursday July 26th from 12pm-1pm, longtime collector of early California art Mark Hilbert will share his extraordinary collection comprised of paintings that offer a non-verbal communication of “People, Places and Memories” through the eyes of regional artists. Some of his collection can be viewed in two Art Published books, “The Good Life” and in “Millard Sheets”.
Art Talks: A Lecture Series continues throughout the Festival of Arts 2012 season. On Tuesdays, experienced artists take attendees through topics of medium, influences, and current trends; on Thursdays, Orange County’s top curators, collectors, and conservators lead discussions on issues of buying, appraising, displaying, restoring and conserving fine art. Brown bag lunches from Gina’s will be available for purchase or you can bring your own! Art Talks: A Lecture Series is free with Festival admission.
The Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters are sponsored in part by Acura, Cox Communications, Fidelity Investments, KOST Radio 103.5, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and The Orange County Register. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters.
