Nationally recognized painter Jane Filer will serve as judge at the opening show for the 16th Annual Chatham Studio Tour. Sample artwork of artists participating in The Tour will be on display at a free public Opening Show at Carolina Central Community College (CCCC) in Pittsboro on Friday December 5th from 7 to 9PM.
Chatham Artists Guild President Forrest Greenslade asserts, "We are really excited to have Jane Filer at our opening to judge this year's show." Filer's paintings are evolved from historical and prehistoric observations. They are a response to clues she has gathered from the most ancient to the most modern visual references available. Blending this with the relationship she has with her own existence, she creates a fantastical story. The sense of story is used to provoke exciting aspects of being and existing in this amazing world. She is in love with color and sensual surface textures on her canvases and is in love with life.
The stories of more than 50 artists will be told through their art in their own studios scattered throughout scenic Chatham County. Visitors to The Tour are guided by a Tour Map and Brochure available at restaurants and shops through the Triangle area, and on the Guild’s website at: www.chathamstudiotour.com/map/map.html.
Specifically, brochures will be available at:
-Hewitt Pottery;
- North Carolina Museum of Art in the Raleigh Visitor Information Station located behind the Information Desk;
-Durham Arts in Durham;
-Aria Spa at Chatham Crossing in Chapel Hill;
-The Arts Center in Carrboro;
-The General Store Café in Pittsboro,
-Alamance County Arts Council in Graham;
-Art Incubator and the other shops in Siler City.
Tour visitors the first two weekends in December will enjoy discussing art, the artists’ personal stories, and the process of creating unique art in the artists’ own environments.
