Annual ART FOR ALL Exhibition at Moody Mansion
August 27September 11, 2011 ArtWalk Opening, Saturday, August 27, 6 to 9 pm ______________________________________________________________________________ GALVESTON, Texas, July 14, 2011Galveston Arts Center is pleased to present an exhibition of work by participants in GACs Art for All Education Outreach Programs. The exhibition will be hosted at Moody Mansion and will open during the August 27th ArtWalk. It will remain on view through September 11, 2011. The event is free and open to the public. The Galveston Arts Centers mission includes providing visual arts education and an environment for creative expression. The Art for All Education Outreach Program fosters individual and community growth by encouraging adults and children to explore the creative process in a nurturing environment where they build self-confidence and improve problem-solving skills. Through this initiative, GAC is able to promote the visual arts by bringing the community into the Arts Center through workshops, tours, and classes, as well as by taking GAC into the community in order to reach those who might not otherwise have access to visual arts programs. Classes, which are free of charge to participants, provide artist instructors and supplies to previously underserved populations on the island, ranging in age from pre-K children to senior citizens. Currently, outreach programs are offered at these venues: ADA House, Libbies Place, Ronald McDonald House, St. Vincents House, the Sunshine Center, the Transitional Learning Center, and UTMBs Department of Pediatrics. In addition, the Arts Center offers art-making workshops for both adults and children throughout the year, and weekly workshops for children during the summer. Since Hurricane Ike damaged the Arts Centers home on the Strand, the 1878 First National Bank Building, these classes have been generously hosted at Moody Mansion. This will be the third year that the Art for All annual exhibition will be displayed there. The Arts Center also collaborates with Rosenberg Library each summer to coordinate art projects in conjunction with their childrens summer reading program. The exhibition will feature work created during the past year by participants in all outreach programs. GACs Art for All Education Program is made possible by support from the Alice Taylor Gray Foundation, the Harry S. and Isabel C. Cameron Foundation, Galveston Rotary Foundation, Inc., and the Jr. League of Galveston Countys Community Assistance Fund.
