On Friday, July 9, the Yellow Springs Arts Council will kick off the first Yellow Springs Experience by opening two art shows simultaneously, following a launch party for the Yellow Springs Experience. Fittingly, the beautiful handcrafted building at 309 Xenia Avenue – a work of art itself – is the NEW Yellow Springs Arts Council home and gallery space as well as the Welcome Center for the Yellow Springs Experience. From 4:00-6:30 p.m., visit the Welcome Center and the Barr Property next door for the launch party, which will include live music, refreshments and a chance to meet the artists and practitioners of the Experience.
From 6:30-9 p.m., the Xenia Avenue space will host the opening reception of "Transitions: Traces and Spaces," a group show by artists working for the YSAC, featuring artist Sarah Leavens. Multidisciplinary artwork included in Transitions explores change, movement between spaces, and the traces left by and on the spaces we inhabit. This opening includes readings at 7:00 and 8:30 p.m. For more information contact Leavens at slleavens@gmail.com.
From 6-9 p.m., the Arts Council Art Space gallery at 108 Dayton Street (2nd floor) features the opening reception for "Life Paintings by Buck Truitt." Paintings on display derive from the artist’s life experience and relay meaning and emotion to the viewer. Additional gallery hours are July 16, 6-9 p.m. during 3rd Friday Fling and Saturdays July 24 and 31, 1-4 p.m. For more information, contact the artist at valbkyle@yahoo.com or (937) 532-4106.Schedule of events:
