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!

W-10: "TAKE A LEAP...into abstraction" by Mary Kane

"TAKE A LEAP into abstraction" invites the viewers to see the artist's progression from expressing the attack on the towers in 2001, to diving into her unconscious and enjoying the vibrations of color against color. Instead of the darkness of 9/11 she is all about "CREATING LIFE".
