Inspired by our beloved Sketchbook Pin-Up Show, we’re bringing a Photography Pin-Up Show to the Firehouse Arts Center in conjunction with the River South Festival! This show is all about celebrating the people who notice the beauty in everyday life — the landscape you pass every morning, an interesting shadow, a quiet still life, an unexpected detail, or a moment you just had to capture. Landscapes, still life, abstract, architecture, wildlife, and more are welcome. All ages and experience levels are encouraged to participate!

THE DETAILS

• Submissions are due by September 9th!

• Prints must be 8” x 10” or smaller

• Prints may be placed in a clear plastic sleeve to protect them while displayed with clothes pins

• Prints may be priced $20 or less

• Firehouse Arts Center will retain $2 from each print sold

• Portraits are welcome for display but will not be available for sale

• No nude photography will be accepted

• Firehouse Arts center reserves the right to decline submissions that do not meet exhibition guidlines

You don’t have to call yourself a “photographer” to participate. If you see something beautiful, interesting, strange, quiet or worth remembering — and you capture it — we want to see it.

Back to school, back to basics — with a twist! Our fall session teaches the building blocks of art: the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Through engaging, hands-on projects, students will gain a deeper understanding of how art works — while creating masterpieces of their own in the process.

We’ll celebrate their efforts with a special gallery reception showcasing their creations October 27th at 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM.

Now introducing Creative Station! The Firehouse Arts Center’s very own art club for 7th-12th graders! Held every 2nd and 4th Monday, club members will bring their own ideas to life, be inspired by other artists, and have the opportunities for local outreach through art. They will have access to art supplies through the Firehouse, but are welcome to bring their own. Snack and beverages will be provided and Mary Alice, our instructor, will be present to encourage and guide them through their projects. Membership fees are $10 every three months and will be open for purchase on August 18th!
