The celebration of Brentwood’s Centennial year is turning to the world of art in March.
As part of the year long celebration of Brentwood’s 100th year, the Brentwood Century Foundation is presenting a “Brentwood Sons and Daughters Centennial Art Exhibit” on Saturday, March 30 from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Drury Hotel in Brentwood. Drury Hotels is sponsoring the event and there is no admission charge.
Toni Bowman, coordinator for the event along with Lois Eggers, said: “We had a similar exhibition last year and it was very well attended. We’re looking forward to an even bigger crowd at our Centennial event.”
Lois added: “We have a real variety of art forms being exhibited and our artists are from several generations.” Art mediums to be displayed include stained glass, quilting, wood sculpting, acrylics, watercolors, photography, and other mixed media.
Artists include long-time Brentwood residents, former residents, and current Brentwood High School staff and students. Among the artists with work to be displayed are David Chiodini, Judy Chiodini, Harry Hysmith, Jasmine Raskas, Emilee Felknor, Robert Green, Paul Harper, Michael Titus, Ralph Fournier, Tim Rempel, Jonathan Gabriel Raskas, Kelene Karetski Renberg, Cathy Einspanier, Ann Hysmith, Mary Jane Becker, and Rosalee Howe.
Award-winning photographer Michael Titus will hold question and answer sessions during the day and other artists will share their perspectives and stories. There will be refreshments and music for those in attendance. Some of the works of art will be raffled off and some will also be available for purchase.
