Backyard Birds and Blooms
Backyard Birds and Blooms Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artist and Art Instructor Vania Viveiros had to adapt. Brilliantly, Vania continued to teach via “live” video painting demonstrations that were free to the public and took place in her studio in the Narrows Art Community at the Narrows Center. The demonstrations were available on Facebook Live and through C.A.N, the Creative Arts Network. The classes were expressive, educational and uplifting and featured birds in their natural habitat. Viewers learned color theory and the fundamentals of painting and were encouraged to go outdoors, to study nature, to enjoy all of its beauty and to breathe! At no time did folks need this respite more from the chaotic world around them, and the opportunity to learn new skills in a calming environment was a perfect timing of circumstance. Vania also used this unique “classroom” to remind people to take the time to really see the world around them, to discuss local birds and...

Geometric Incidents
This three-person exhibition of paintings, works-on-paper and sculpture focuses on and illustrates our interests in geometric compositional strategies. Our work exemplifies the influences that are fundamental in nature, science and architecture that each of us utilizes, some more actively and predominantly than others. This common interest is the visual link to our individual approaches where the varied results reflect the “incidental” occurrences that our separate creative processes reveal. Although our individual specific influences may vary and our geometric incidents materialize as distinctly unique outcomes, we find that these underlying influences are at the core of our work.

GALLERY INFORMATION
BayCoast Bank Gallery at the Narrows Center
Thursday – Saturday, Noon – 5:00 p.m.
The Narrows Center has two visual art galleries. Visitors enter through the Narrows’ main Gallery, a space with an impressive 210 linear feet of exhibition walls in an elegant architectural design. Morphing several times throughout the year, the BayCoast Bank Gallery at the Narrows Center presents artwork of every medium. The Narrows Café Gallery occupies a linear wall facing Battleship Cove at the opposite end of the venue. This space is ideal for sequential unfolding of a theme and single artist shows. Having two galleries affords visitors and artists multiple opportunities to view and exhibit fine art.
The Narrows presents museum quality nationally touring exhibitions in addition to the artwork of student, local, national and international artists. “The Art of the Brick,” “Pulp Function,” “Duende: The Art of Anthony Quinn,” “Jerry Garcia Art Tour” “Petroleum Paradox: For Better or for Worse?” and “The Artwork of Richie Havens” are examples of extraordinary past touring exhibitions we’ve hosted. Docent led tours and workshops for children are integral to our visual arts programming. Since arts related activities are cost prohibitive to many, the Narrows provides free admission to the gallery during regular gallery hours. In doing so, the Narrows affords everyone a no-cost opportunity to view spectacular artwork. Concert-goers are also welcome to view the artwork on performance nights.
