CREATIVE MIXER IS THURSDAY, AUGUST 13--EVERYONE WELCOME!
This month's Salida "Creative Mixer" is Thursday, August 13 at 5:30 pm in the SteamPlant Paquette Gallery. Sponsored by Salida Council for the Arts, this popular social gathering is where local artists, writers, musicians, art lovers and community members meet, exchange information, and network on a casual basis.
Featured guests artist this month is Salida painter and tanguera Dvora Kanegis, operator of Casa Tango Studio, whose vibrant paintings of the dance will be on display in the Paquette Gallery throughout August. Dvora enjoys painting on Venetian plaster, applying thin layers of acrylic to produce unique luminescence and depth.
Featured musician will be classical cellist Jennifer Cox. The Salida resident has performed for many years with the Aspen Music Festival; spent five years with the Kwa Zulu-Natal Philharmonic in Durban, South Africa; and has performed as a soloist, chamber musician and principal cellist in orchestras in the U.S., Europe, and Africa.
As always, the Creative Mixer is free and open to the public. Free hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar will be available; as will the perennial favorite "soapbox" where artists can stand up and make announcements of interest to the crowd.
Salida Council for the Arts is an all-volunteer organization working for the betterment of the arts, artists, and community of Salida. For more information visit salidacouncilforthearts.org
