Photos of our May Henderson Art Association general meeting, captured by HAA artist and resident photographer Nabila Khanam.
As artists, through our work and our stories, we are committed to making the world a more beautiful place. Heather Abel, Green movement evangelist and artist in her own right, is committed to doing the same in her own creative, eco-conscious way. This past Tuesday, at our May general meeting, artists and other attendees found out just how committed. Heather spoke extensively and enthusiastically on Green advancements here in the southern Nevada region. She covered a range of artist opportunities and had meeting attendees create their own recycled sculpture masterpieces on the spot. Even the most creative among us can get stuck or have our process become routine. This was a great way for folks to do something interactive and break conventions of what art can be and where it can come from.
HAA artist member Boo Witzman shared artwork as this month's curtain raiser and HAA President Deb Mays covered off on all other agenda items. Thank you for attending. Hope to see you next month. There may be a mixer in June instead of the general meeting. Different day, time, and venue. Stay tuned. Details to come soon.
It can pretty much be whatever we want it to. It can come from within. It can come from our surroundings. It can come from just about anywhere.
How do we define it? How do we interpret it? How do we connect with it? Art is subjective and personal and ever-changing, so the answer to these questions is pretty much up to us.
It can move us. It can inspire us. It can perplex and entertain us. It can influence us. It can imitate us. It can be everything and nothing all at once.
It can be painted or drawn or sprayed or hand-made. It can be visual, vocal, or verbal. Poets, sculptors, metal-workers, mixed media folks. Everyone with a grain of creativity or simply an appreciation is welcome.
Because art is so entirely subjective, please understand that this site has been created and will continue to evolve to serve not just the community of artists but the notion of all the things that art itself can be.
That said, the content of the site will be limited to things that will hopefully incite limited controversy, if any at all, but there may be links to people with artistic pursuits that may or may not be in line with some of the rest of us.
Again, using the best of our discretion, we will attempt to fairly represent as many local artists as we can and hope that everyone can find something to appreciate in each others' vision.
Thank you.
