Artist Talk: An Ekphrastic Poem

2/25/2020

Join us for tea and a talk at the LCAG on Saturday, March 7th, from 1 - 3 pm. We will be discussing the work on display during the Ekphrastic Poem Exhibition with artists Michael Griffin, John Waite and Lois Huey-Heck, as well as Jude Clarke and John Lent.

The term ‘ekphrastic’ originates from a Greek expression for description. The earliest ekphrastic poems were vivid accounts of real or imagined scenes. Through effusive use of details, writers in ancient Greece aspired to transform the visual into the verbal. Later poets moved beyond description to reflect on deeper meanings. Today, the word ‘ekphrastic’ can refer to any literary response to a non-literary work.

This exhibition, An Ekphrastic Poem, asks you, the viewer, to be the poet. Give ekphrasis a try…
*pick an artwork from this exhibition
*start a conversation with art work, ask questions, invent a response
*reflect on details in the work
*tell a story
The poem can take on any form, haiku, limerick, sonnet, narrative, you decide.

Failure Party!

2/24/2020

This Saturday is a special date.. not only is it February 29th, a day that only comes around every four years, but it is also the date of FAILURE PARTY! Hosted by our very own Laundry Room Collective at the Lake Country Art House, this party celebrates failure in the funnest way possible.

Do you like art?
Do you like snacks?
Do you feel a degradation of self worth through your artistic creations and feel an oppressive suffocation stemming from the inevitability of failure? PERFECT. This is the event for you!

Join the LaundryRoom and the Lake Country artist community on February 29th at the LCAG Art House in a participation based art party exploring failure! Come between 6 and 10 PM to eat snacks, make art, discuss failure, join the art critique, be entertained by musical performances from DJ Willie Four Milli and NAVvv, or even share your own story at the open mic.

Failure is inevitable. It comes to everyone in every situation and in infinite ways. Why not embrace it? What does this look like for an artist? Failure Party is a free event for anyone and everyone is welcome!
