“Coming Together, Again”
The Collaboration of 30 Yellow Barn Artists
Chautauqua Tower Studio, Glen Echo Park
7300 MacArthur Blvd
Glen Echo, MD 20812
For the month of February the Yellow Barn Studio and Gallery, which boasts 600 members and 40 classes per semester, will be showing off some of its best and brightest advanced level students in the Chautauqua Tower 1st floor studio. Starting February 2nd, the Chautauqua Tower (“Stone Tower”), which usually houses one resident artist for one month, will display the collaboration between 30 Yellow Barn artists. The artists will be working on one large 72 x 28” painting/drawing in a relay style fashion. They will each display their unique styles and different approaches to painting. The artists’ progress will be documented throughout the month with photographs that will be posted on the Yellow Barn blog (http://yellowbarnstudio.blogspot.com/) and Facebook. These posts will allow each artist to discuss what they are working on as well as their different approaches and impressions of painting. The Yellow Barn invites the public to visit the space, ask questions of our artists, and see the artists working together.
“I’m trying to show what makes the Yellow Barn one of the premier places to take art classes in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. While we have a reputation for great instructors that produce great artists, we also have a great community that enjoys working together.” says J. Jordan Bruns, Yellow Barn Studio Manager and collaboration organizer. “Last year we did a relay with the instructors, this time I thought it would be fun to see how our members do.”
The Chautauqua Tower Studio will be open to the public daily February 2nd through February 28th, 11:00am-5:00pm.
