Monthly Featured Artists

Background image: Invitation to the Dance by Lynn Goldstein

The Workhouse Arts Center has more than 60 resident visual artists who occupy studios on campus, as well as a collective group of off-site artists who display their work in the Arches Gallery. Every month, in each building, the work of individual artists or a group of artists is featured in a special exhibition that runs for the entire month. During our Second Saturday art walks our featured artists (and many other studio artists!) are on campus to talk about their work and processes. And, if you love what you see, you can take it with you, as most art on campus is available for purchase!

“My work is whimsical. I blow glass at my torch, I also work both soft and borosilicate. Lots of my pieces just show up whilst I am working....what fun. I am inspired by my flowers, our foxes, birds and butterflies, and our honey bees, and things funny.” Winn Jones

W-6: "Portraits & Flowers" by Nanette Catigbe

In this exhibition, Nanette showcases two of her favorite subjects, the human form and flowers. The choice of medium depends on how it can best convey the expression and uniqueness of the subject. Not only does she paints on the canvas, but also on bags and edibles. Her award-winning painted cakes have proven that her artistry goes beyond the canvas.

W-10: "Exploration" by G. Jackson Tanner

Though it appears similar to Pointillism, G. Jackson Tanner’s personal experience with mass-production printing is more closely linked to my new application methodology. This work was produced by hand using the physicality I have to use with the use of basic painting tools; neither automated presses, nor were pneumatic processes utilized.
