Personalities in Color. Cindy Lou Chenard, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

River Arts District (RAD) artists continue their exploration of the theme Who Am I? Who Are We?<\/em> with exhibitions centered around this month\u2019s topic, An Emergence<\/em>. Second Saturday happens on June 8, and there are additional exhibitions, demos and special events throughout the month. Parking is available in the pedestrian-friendly, mile-long district, and the free Arts AVL Connect Trolley, which loops between the RAD and the Downtown Arts District, makes a number of convenient stops from 12\u20136 p.m. on Second Saturday.<\/p>\n

At Pink Dog Creative, artist Heather Divoky will unveil her latest work, The Library<\/em>, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. \u201cThis piece is fully colored, marker and ink on Bristol board with foam core to create a 3D effect,\u201d Divoky says. \u201cThe Library contains 1,400 books, 700 of them titled with real titles. Many of these books are banned books.\u201d This work, begun in March 2023, represents an emergence for her, she adds. \u201cI am emerging from an extremely challenging work of art, one that required patience, research, time and consideration that really pushed me artistically,\u201d she says. \u201cI can\u2019t wait for everyone to see it!\u201d<\/p>\n

John Diamond-Nigh, who creates \u201cancient\/avant-garde gold work\u201d is one of the artists in the group exhibition An Emergence<\/em> at Trackside Studios. \u201cI\u2019m so intrigued at how modernity lives on in the ancient past, and how the ancient lives in the present,\u201d he says. \u201cGold is a bridge between Agamemnon\u2019s mask and the work of current artists like Olga de Amaral and Anselm Kiefer.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Art Garden AVL, an opening reception will be held from 4\u20136 p.m. on Second Saturday for An Emergence,<\/em> a group exhibition for its artists. Other events are planned throughout the day, including at the studio shared by Greta Aguirre (SOiL botanical skincare), Lupo Passero (Twin Star Herbal) and artist Harper Leich. \u201cI\u2019ll be working on my newest painting in my plant series, Lupo will lead a plant walk and Greta will have botanical skincare to sample,\u201d says Leich. \u201cPainting can be a wonderfully isolating activity, but having an open studio helps connect me to the vibrant art community here and to the people who are interested in what we\u2019re up to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additional Second Saturday events include a demo by Cindy Lou Chenard from 1\u20135 p.m. at 362 Depot Street Studios; an opening night reception from 5:30\u20137:30 p.m. for The Color of Air<\/em>, featuring artist Nabil El Jaouhari, at Mark Bettis Gallery; and collage, sculpture and fine art demos from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. by artist Stephen L. Lange at Phil Mechanic Studios.<\/p>\n
