This month has an awful lot of exhibitions, art and otherwise, and we are determined to see a bunch of them.

First new art exhibit: THE EVER PRESENT REVEALED

We’ve been reading about the Bath House Cultural Center for a while now but finally made a trip there to see this exhibit. We were curious about the name and what it signified. The Center is located on a lake and was showing multiple exhibits. Before going to explore Ever Present Revealed we walked into a gallery showing “Party Animals”, which was a room filled with charming artwork by two artists, Stormy Parker and Julia McLain. From whimsical paintings to 3 dimensional scenes of various bunnies, to a small sculpture of a group of animals gathering for a party, entitled It’s 5:00 Somewhere, the room could bring a smile to the faces of old and young alike.

We then went into the gallery showing the Ever Present Revealed exhibit. We loved this exhibit. Here there were various paintings and other media of everyday objects that were reimagined into beautiful works of art. Some were vintage postcards that were then hand embroidered, some were shells, twigs  and sticks made into a lovely picture, some were recycled paper that the artist had added bottles and other objects to…All lovely.

We found the curator and asked him about the title, and he threw the question back to us. Barbara suggested that it was an exhibit about everyday things you could find and not notice but which became beautiful when transformed by the artists. He gave us props for getting it right and added that it was about so many things of grace and beauty in the world that people tend to overlook. Loved the day!
