The "Second" Second Saturday Art Walk during the era of face masks

Manley Art Center's Gallery Coordinator, Sharon Guy, interviewed sculptors Jenny Dwaileebe and Heike & Co. during the August Art Walk.

A display of Jenny's clay sculptures and Heike's fiber sculptures is on display in the Gallery for the month of August.

It was the perfect day for a lawn party at Manley Art Center!

At Forecastle Books Georgia Cockerham signed copies of her latest murder mystery set in Brookings. Murder Takes All is the fourth of a series that also includes: Murder on the Oregon Coast, Murder in the Wind and Murder Replete.

Katie Smith at Semi Aquatic Gallery talked about Spencer Reynolds latest painting in progress. He is glazing clear layers between layers of color to create a 3-D effect.

Pete Chasar, at Brian Scott and Signatures Galleries, is going in the opposite direction from Spencer Reynolds with his latest work and is celebrating a very flat style of painting - no nuances or shading, just flat lines and shapes in solid colors.

Pete Chasar is the Featured Artist at Brian Scott & Signatures Galleries this month. In addition to his paintings, he is also showing a wheelbarrow load of his geometric creations.

Literally - a wheelbarrow load of art. Pete also created the wheelbarrow which can be made from 2/3 of a sheet of plywood and is a functional cart. If you have wheelbarrow envy, just ask Pete for a copy of the plans which he has already prepared.

Art by Pete Chasar will be featured all month at Brian Scott & Signatures Gallery.

Thank you to the four venues and all the artists who participated in the Second Saturday Art Walk!

PBAA Awards Scholarship to Natalie Garcia

Natalie Garcia is the recipient of the $1,000 scholarship awarded annually by Pelican Bay Arts Association to an art student selected by the Scholarship Committee.

Benita Robinson, the current Treasurer of PBAA, was both happy and proud to recently present the check to Natalie, who shared the following: “ I can distinctly remember the moment that I decided I wanted to pursue a career in illustration and storytelling. I was still in middle school, and I had discovered a graphic novel of illustrated short stories at my local library. I was astounded by the artwork, storytelling, and composition of the illustrations. From that moment on, I decided I wanted to be able to create something that will inspire someone else like the graphic novel inspired me. Whether that be through a book, illustrations, or animation, I want to be able to inspire people. At RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), I hope to improve my art skills and learn the ins and outs of storytelling in a variety of mediums.”
