Sebastian River Art Club Art Center News

Welcome to the Sebastian River Art Club's Art Center News.  Watch this blog for news of upcoming events and shows in the Art Center, 1245 Main Street, Sebastian, Florida.  The Art Club's Art Center opened its doors in October 2010 under the direction of Club Member Toni Hill, who served as Art Center Chairman until February, 2012, when SRAC Recording Secretary Judy Burgarella assumed the role as Chairman.  The Art Center exhibits the work of Art Club members who wish to show their work in the spaces provided.  On view are works in oil, watercolor, acrylic, graphite, charcoal, pottery and sculpture.  The Art Center is open for viewing Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  Stop by for information about Art Club membership and classes.

The small rooms in the Art Center which serve as gallery space are named after renowned artists to make the rooms easier to identify.  The Rosalee Hume Gallery, named after our most famous Club member whose bronze sculpture of Mr. Kroegel overlooks the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian's Riverview Park, is currently exhibiting the works of Dawn K. Mill, famous in the region for her oils and acrylics of Florida's tropical landscape.  The exhibit, entitled "Dawn Mill, A Retrospective," features a sampling of artwork from her days in college up to the present.  Below is shown a pen-and-ink drawing from her college days, and an acrylic painting of a tropical view of Adams Ranch which is part of her current works.

 Adjoining the Rosalee Hume gallery is the "Little Jewels" gallery, exhibiting petite works by our Member artists.  Below is a sample of a few of the "Little Jewels" on display ~

Ribbons will be awarded each month for members who wish to use part of their space to exhibit a themed work.  May's theme is "Florals," and a sampling is shown below.
