Outside the Box – Juliann Talkington
The Panama City Renaissance School is looking forward to hosting its second annual contemporary art show and is excited about the partnership with the Visual Art Center and Griffin Design Firm. Each spring we try to do something a little different. This year we are comparing US and Latin American views on modern expression with original works from the US, Ecuador, Guatemala and Mexico. We hope the community will enjoy the event.
The opening reception is Friday, May 2 from 6:45 – 8:45 pm. This formal event will feature music by Gilligan Loves MaryAnn and will include hors d’oeuvres and beverages. For free admission to the reception, please call the school office at 215-8712 or send a request to info@pcrschool.org no later than 12 noon on Friday, May 2. The exhibition also will be open to the public on Sunday May 4 from 1:00 – 4:00 pm and Monday from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
The show will feature original works by well-known Latin American artists from Guatemala, Mexico and Ecuador including Carlos Merida (Guatemala) and Jose Luis Cuevas (Mexico). Other well known artists include Paul Brent (USA), Marco Bustamante (Mexico), Guillermo Canseco (Mexico), Kim Griffin (USA), Washington Iza (Ecuador), Rosy Revelo (Ecuador), Porter Thrower (USA) and Carl Webb (USA). Children from the Panama City Renaissance School also will exhibit works.
