The Fall has passed and led us into a wonderful holiday season. We continued with your favorite classes and bus trips, and tried some new things, like Artist’s Monday Night Out, the Bonsai workshop and the fabulous CNYCO concert. For those who were unable to join us at H.C.C.C. for their inaugural concert due to the inclement weather, you really missed a top notch performance by professional local musicians! We are looking forward to the next concert with eager anticipation.
This semester will see the same effort to bring in the popular classes and activities along with some interesting new additions. For the first time, we will be offering instruction in the art of Japanese anime drawing due to a growing international interest in this art form, which has generated the formation of local clubs, classes held in other locations, and production of movies featuring popular characters in this genre. Due to everyone’s busy schedules and the part the Central NY weather plays, you will also notice classes are starting a little later this winter. Hopefully it will feel like Spring came that much quicker to us, fast though time already flies!
Speaking of movies, our Film Series for 2008 has begun. We are showing ten films, listed in the calendar, two of which are designated as fund raisers. The first is showing Sunday, Jan. 27 at 4:00. The featured film is “Across the Universe” a romance set in Greenwich Village in the 1960’s. The second fundraiser is “Paris Je T’aime” which includes a series of vignettes set in various locations around Paris. The cast is made up of many well known stars. This film is being shown on Feb.24 at 4:00. As with all Film Series fundraisers, refreshments in keeping with the theme of the movie will be served, so be sure to arrive early to enjoy. The ticket price for both fundraisers is $12.00, and as always the films are shown at the Valley Cinema in Little Falls. Come, bring your friends, and join us for a good time!
Finally, I would like to thank every person who helped make our Holiday Gallery show a success. From those who volunteered to decorate, those that helped with refreshments, the vendors who provided such nice things to offer our clientele, to Mother and Father Christmas who graced us with a visit to start the season in the right spirit, the Art Center could not function without you! Thanks again, and I look forward to another opportunity to work together this winter.
