CALL FOR ARTISTSCELEBRATE BUZZARDS BAY ART SHOW
 Artists who are inspired by Buzzards Bay are encouraged to submit works for consideration for the exhibition titled, Interpretations: Artistic Celebrations of Buzzards Bay. The exhibit is the result of collaboration between the Falmouth Artists Guild and the Buzzards Bay Coalition and will be displayed in both Falmouth and New Bedford.
The Buzzards Bay region has long served as inspiration for artists who interpret the bay and its watershed, from headwaters to harbors, as a place for work, play and reflection, and to understand the interaction between nature and man. This exhibit will celebrate works that capture the beauty, diversity, and character of the Bay and its watershed.
The call for entries is now open and artists may deliver works of all media for consideration to the Falmouth Art Center (137 Gifford Street) on Monday, August 20, between 9:30am and 4pm. Jurying will take place on the 21, and the exhibit will open in Falmouth on August 23.
Eligible art pieces must be recent work that has not been previously exhibited at the Falmouth Art Center. While artists may submit multiple pieces for consideration, only one piece per artist will be accepted. Accepted works are at the discretion of the jury panel and all accepted works will be posted on the Falmouth Art Center website upon the completion of the jurying process at www.falmouthart.org. Additional requirements and downloadable prospectus can be found at Art Exhibitions on our website or by contacting the Falmouth Artists Guild at 508.540.3304 or info@falmouthart.org.

YOUTH & TEEN CLASSES
SUMMER AT THE ART CENTER: ART FROM NATURE CAMP
 It is not too soon to plan summer art activities for your children or grandchildren. Monica Bleiler will teach children how they can produce a variety of art all from the bounty of Mother Nature's creations. Objects collected from the woods and beaches will be used to develop a village at the Art Center for all those small creatures that live below the trees and nap under leaves. Join us this summer and build houses and furnishings for fairies, gnomes, or elves all from natural objects. In addition to installing a garden at the Art Center, students will create their own "dish garden" to take home. Other activities using natural items may include making fairy wands, walking sticks, wind chimes, names plates, stone sculptures, and collages.
Art From Nature Camp schedule:
DRAWING & PAINTING - ages 10 and up
Thursdays: 4:00pm - 5:30pm
$60 each session

Filmmaker Vanessa Gould takes you on a provocative odyssey into the mesmerizing world of modern origami, where artists and scientists use the ancient art form to craft works of delicate beauty and to model cutting-edge mathematical theories. Pushing the envelope of origami to include caricatured portraits and elaborate abstract designs, these experts examine how paper folding can reveal the profound connection between art, science and philosophy.
