Larry Bryson’s Art Gallery Reception @ CMCM!

Friday, August 9th @ 6:00 PM

Local artist Larry Bryson shares his story about his artwork:

“There are unique moments, images, feelings, sounds, aromas presenting themselves all of the time. My work celebrates this diversity, and I hope to cause a few more. The feeling of home depends on this. Beauty depends on this. Awareness of this sort of thing is an artistic sense we all have. What is new here? My art is to show these moments in a new light and share with fellow artistic companions.

​I create images that suggest my home area in California. The shape of hills, plants and animals right here, fitted together, only happens here. That is home. I have an interesting, vibrant home with its shape and color. I also seek to display a different point of view. Some plein air painters tend to show very similar angles of view with x%

foreground, y% middle ground, and z% distance. I prefer to skew emphasis towards what that image offers that is not average.”

“Larry’s paintings are both masterful and intelligent. His artistic point of view challenges and delights me. Spending an afternoon at his studio over a cup of tea leaves me refreshed and inspired – I’d recommend the same to any lover of art and new ideas.”

- Linda Larsen

Young adults are significantly underrepresented in elections. The 2022 General Election highlighted this disparity, with only 38.96% of registered voters aged 18-24 casting their ballots, compared to 86.41% of voters aged 65-74. Increasing voter turnout among young adults is crucial for a representative democracy. Marin County Elections Student Ambassador Program was created to help encourage participation by our youngest voters.

Carol Jacobsen's Gallery Reception "Women Of Color And Accomplishment"!

On Thursday, August 31, at 6;00 PM, there will be the closing reception for the 'Doing the Right Thing' art exhibit by Carol Jacobsen. At 7:00 PM, Carol will give an artist talk.

From Art Therapy to Social Justice Art.
'Doing the Right Thing' showcases 19 of the 100 portraits in the 'Women of Color and Accomplishment' series. This series was inspired by the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests. In processing her first response of anger and frustration at the racism still evident in this country, Carol chose to focus her energy on making a visual reminder of the power of individuals to make a difference.

She chose portraiture to honor the extraordinary African American women who have overcome obstacles of race and gender to achieve their dreams. Most of these women have been ignored by history books. These portraits were made to help people see beyond skin color to instead see the character of the person.

Event: "Women of Color and Accomplishment" Closing
Reception

Room: The Georgia Anwell Gallery
Location: Community Media Center of Marin

Address: 819 A Street, San Rafael, CA 94901
