Carnegie Arts Center of Turlock

Gillian Wegener from Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center shows us how to transform a pile of random cut-out words into an awesome poem!

Are antiques or collectables your thing? There might be something for you in our "Artober!" Art & Antiques Auction. Waterford Crystal, Hummel figurines, a Belgian oak hutch or a decorative old butter churn. Take a peak and get your bids in before time runs out on Sunday night! www.biddingowl.com/CarnegieArtsCenter

Artwork by many of our most favorite regional artists is included in the "Artober" online Auction! Have you ever wanted to own a piece by artists you've seen in our many fantastic showcase exhibitions? Here's your chance to bid on them!! www.biddingowl.com/CarnegieArtsCenter

Awards announcement! Our new Lobby Gallery exhibition features some exciting work on the theme of "In This Time" - reflecting and responding to the issues that have been at the forefront of our current social and political landscape. We are pleased to announce award winners: Best of Show goes to Carolyn Lord's painting "Petro Relic". Awards of Merit to Chella and to Don Hall. Honorable Mentions to Ann Bailey, Randy Crimmel, Linda Knoll and Michelle Park. (Check the comments on each image for titles.) We wish we could have a great party to celebrate, but "in This Time" we just do what we can. The exhibition remains on display until January 2021, so don't miss it. Congratulations to all!

We were surprised and saddened to learn this week of the passing of youth advocate Collin Kartchner. Excitement around Collin's upcoming presentation for the Carnegie and the EMC Health Foundation was high, and we can't express enough the depth of this loss. Our hearts are with his young family, his team at #SavetheKids, and all of his many friends and followers. His passion and his voice on this important subject will be sorely missed.

Time to pick up your free Family Friday Kit! Stop by the Carnegie today 10am-7pm and tomorrow 10am-5pm for materials, then tune in tomorrow for instructions from Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center on how to create an awesome poem! Materials include construction paper, a glue stick, plenty of words to choose from, and tissue paper to make papel picado after you’ve completed your poem. Thank you to sponsor Kids Care Dental & Orthodontics for allowing us to provide free materials #art #free #familyfriday #poetry #mostpoetry #papelpicado #carnegiearts #carnegieartsturlock
