Where’s the Art this December in Kenmore?
In December we at Arts of Kenmore both head toward the holidays and prepare for the New Year.
There are various ways you can “get your art on” in Kenmore this December and into 2025…
- December 9th – Paint and Sip event at Copperworks Distillery. The event itself is full but you can come by and have a cocktail with board members and find out about upcoming opportunities to get involved in the arts in 2025. At the event you can also enter into a drawing for our ever popular upcycled tote bags!
- December 6, 2024-February 28, 2025 – Camilla Bell (Holga Photography) and Gary Rubin (Drawings) at City Hall Gallery. Camilla Bell’s work contains black-and-white photographs taken on medium format film using a plastic camera called a Holga. Camilla’s photography is centered around interesting compositions of light and shadow, symmetry, and repetitive textures. Gary Rubin’s drawings are of subjects that evoked an emotion or tapped into one of the many feelings fueled by the challenges of the COVID and racial injustice pandemics.
- Call for Board Members. See below!
Hope to see you at one of these great events!
We are seeking board members inspired by the way that Art can serve as a celebration of both our common human experience and our uniqueness.
The Arts of Kenmore is a Local Arts Agency with a mission to bring access to art of all kinds and to provide opportunities for artists to share their art.
Our annual meeting will be held on Tuesday, January 14th, 2025, at 6pm at Kenmore City Hall.
If you are interested in supporting the Arts locally, you are invited to this meeting where our annual budget is approved and our officer and board member elections are held. Best yet, you will get a sneak preview of our 2025 proposed calendar of events. If you don’t want to be watching from the sidelines, please contact our nominating committee and talk about your interest in serving on the board, or nominating someone you know!
Our nominating committee chair is Cherry van Overstraeten. You may send your inquiry to artsofkenmore1@nullgmail.com and put “Nomination for AOK board” in the
