Prartho Sereno – January Dance Palace Lobby Artist

by

January 1 – January 31 PST

Prartho Sereno, watercolorist/ poet, Poet Laureate of Marin County (2015-17), is author of 4 prizewinning poetry collections, including her illustrated gift book Causing a Stir: The Secret Lives & Loves of Kitchen Utensils (2007 IPPY). Her watercolors have been featured on various book & CD covers, including anthologies, journals, and her own creations.

This current show grew out of an Inspirational Pandemic Round Robin, where artists invited friends to post one painting each day for 21 days. Prartho’s response to the challenge was to pair one of her poems with each of the 21 paintings she posted. The result was something like a new art form: an intimate conversation between colors and words, each form deepening the other. 

You can join Prartho for an online reception on Thursday, January 13, at 5:00pm.  Registration is required, but free; register now via Eventbrite.  (Space is limited and will close 30 minutes before the reception starts.)

Carlos Porrata worked for 30 years as a California State Park Ranger, learning and sharing the natural and cultural history of the parks. Today, he continues to share his observations of the natural world as a wildlife photographer based in Inverness, California.

He captures moments in time and achieves crystal-clear images of wildlife in their natural settings. His work has been exhibited in individual and group photography shows.

Many of his images have appeared in local and national publications. They are also featured in the local newspaper, the Point Reyes Light. As an environmental activist, he generously shares some of his images for the publications of select nonprofit environmental organizations in the Bay Area and with national and state parks.  Many of his images have been taken in Point Reyes National Seashore and California state parks in Marin County, but he also has images from his trips to other national parks and public lands throughout the nation.

Artist Reception with Bruce Mitchell – Dance Palace Artist for September 2021

by

September 17, 2021 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm PDT

Online registration is required; space is limited.

Join Bruce Mitchell as he shares about his process and inspirations in wood-working during his virtual art reception. This online event, organized by the Dance Palace Art Committee, will feature a conversation with the artist discussing several pieces, followed by a Q&A session.  

Bruce began teaching himself how to use a wood lathe in 1977 and drew inspiration for his early turned vessels from the ceramic traditions of China, Japan and Korea. As Bruce developed his technique with those refined, classic forms, he began to explore the sculptural potential of those vessels, carving into the surfaces to produce a unique genre of sculptural vessels. A number of those works are now in the permanent collections of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Yale University of Art Museum, and several others.

Bruce is a West Marin artist who has been working with wood for over five decades. Bruce started his career in woodworking in 1969 when, at the age of nineteen, he apprenticed to sculptor JB Blunk. Bruce continued to work with Blunk over the next seven years on a number of public and private commissions before opening his own studio in 1977. The chainsaw carving techniques he learned from Blunk have played a major role in his sculptural work that he creates entirely from salvaged tree stumps and logs from all over Northern California. In addition to his sculptural vessels, Bruce creates a wide range of salad bowls, tables, stools, benches and abstract forms at his studio in Inverness, California.
