Maybe we need to do a show dedicated to educating people about the subject of the art piece. If we do, I hope this little guy is first in line to enter! This video tripled my knowledge of "hedgehauoooogs", and the coloring job is top notch! Great job little man!

The other day I received a very generous compliment to which I truthfully responded, "Well, I'm surrounded by great people". Bernini is hands down my favorite sculptor, but seeing the work of Finelli, one of Bernini's studio hands, underscores my response to a T. This WAS one solid block of marble, hand-carved with rudimentary tools in the 1600's. This is why I gag a little bit when people get overly excited about technology in the production of fine art. Technology is fine, even great perhaps, but it will never have a soul.

Oak Ridge Art Center will be CLOSED Monday, September 7 in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

Amazing! I'm familiar with the Ghent Alterpiece as should anyone with any background in art history, but I had no idea about some of these details. Stunning, especially given the age in which it was painted.

It's THAT time again- Open Show 2026! This photo from last year is a great reminder of what a spectacle this event is. Intake of artwork begins this TUESDAY the 18th, and runs through SATURDAY 22nd or until we burst at the seams- whichever comes first. (Seriously, last year we were full early Saturday, so keep that in mind procrastinators!) Entry form are on our website and we may have a few on hand if needed. Remember, Open Show is exactly that- amateur, student, professional, local, otherworldly... Be brave, put yourself out there! This show always produces numerous surprises when it comes to entries, selections and prizes. The Salon showing of all entries will be Monday 24 - Sunday 30.
