Second Saturdays at The Art Center September 11 and October 9, 2010

2 – 4 pm

Sponsored by Gerson Investment ManagementThe Poetry and Art of Curley Dunnagan (1925 – 2009)

Saturday, September 11, 2010

2 pm – 4 pm

 Well known in the community for his cowboy poetry and works of art, Curley Dunnagan is a name that, when mentioned, prompts people to recall his poems, love of music, the arts and his unique personality.  Even though Curley has since passed, he is still spoken of by friends and family almost as if he were still here. There are fond memories and laughter when he is mentioned. This Second Saturday event will include the reading of his poetry and short stories by his children and poets in the community as well as a display of his paintings and sculptures.

The Art Center will feature a Second Saturday event 
Saturday, October 9,    2-4pm.
Abstract Art Movement, Gallery Tour & Discussion

At this event we will explore the markers of the abstract art movement through a film of the life and work of  Wassily Kandinsky who is noted often as the artist that started the abstract movement in 1910 with his non-figurative work. We will then tour The Art Center’s exhibit “What? What?” a display of abstract work from the permanent collection and have a discussion. 

Second Saturdays spotlight artists, artistic disciplines and movements throughout history as well as the literary arts. 

This event is sponsored by Gerson Investment Management and is free and open to the public.
