John & Lynn Grzyszek’s Farm is yet another haven for artists & animals. This property has views of far off Kearsarge and across Croydon with open pastures. There are outbuildings and a large barn and there is access to the house to warm our hands and to have a hot beverage, and use the bathroom. John & Lynn also have a barn with heated tack room if the cold is too much to bear. There are copious miniature donkeys to paint in the barn and two dogs on the farm and with vast big sky views.⁠

This monthly drop-in class meets in a different inspiring locations throughout the year to draw, paint, sketch or photograph nature in comradery with other outdoor art enthusiasts. This inclusive and welcoming group is designed to engage artists at all levels & to consider the natural effects of light & its ever changing influences on our landscape. Careful consideration of comfort in your outdoor gear is important when creating art in the open air. Feel free to bring a full plein air kit or for ease & simplicity bring a simple sketchbook with pencil & pen, or anything you like, whatever works in your favor. This drop-in series is an opportunity to create a fun community of artists, to be inspired, creative, adventurous, & to be amidst nature in all seasons throughout the year! ⁠

Progress on the Community Mural Panel 🎨🖌️

Progress on the Community Mural Panel 🎨🖌️

While the majority of the mural panels for the Korn Alley Mural Project are being painted by individual artists, we made the decision to hold one panel back to be painted by members of the community of all ages. This community panel was designed by project lead artist Heidi Lorenz to depict a beautiful scene of community arts in Newport. The gallery was open last Saturday for members of the community to drop in and paint a portion of the mural, and the panel will also travel to several studio classes at the Library Arts Center before its completion and finish work by Lorenz.

We hope that each and every person who has held a brush to this mural will remember the experience of adding a piece of themselves to a piece of public art in our community.
⁠
Each of the other 20 mural panels are currently being painted in artists’ studios across the region before they will return to the Library Arts Center in early April to be UV clear-coated in preparation for hanging at the mural site downtown.⁠
⁠
These public art pieces will bring so much life to Newport’s Downtown Historic District in a celebration of what makes this region a special place to call home.⁠
⁠
Follow along for more mural updates in the coming weeks. Panels will be unveiled at a special event at the mural site in late June.
