The Stark Museum of Art in downtown Orange recently unveiled its new mural installation. Over 1,700 students from Pine Forest Elementary, West Orange-Stark Elementary, and Orangefield Elementary created these abstract murals inspired by masterworks in the museum’s collection. Visitors can stop by any time and view these incredible murals outside the museum.
The Orange Lions Club was recently provided with a HOT grant from the county to work on a community art project. They have been working on creating a design that would not only share about our area, but also create a unique piece of art that would be displayed in our community.
They will finalize the plans in the coming months for a permanent place for this design to be displayed. It may be popping up in other areas as well! The Orange Lions Club sincerely appreciates the opportunity to receive funds to make this project a reality.
“Intro to Wood Carving,” will be offered as an adult workshop at the Stark Museum of Art in Orange.
The three-night workshop will be conducted by Richard Spinney, a local artist who has been woodcarving for four decades.
The workshop will be on Aug. 6, 13 and 20. Cost is $35, which covers the wood and safety materials. There’s also a $70 tool fee that will provide novice carvers with a high-quality carving blade and three gouges that will be theirs to keep after the workshop.
