This weekend will be a great one for Lethbridge art afficionados.
A pallette of fun begins at 2 p.m. at the Owl Acoustic Lounge with November’s edition of Dr. Sketchy’s anti-art school. It is a jazz theme this time. Model Clair de la Lune is presenting an afternoon of Fosse Jazz. Bob Fosse was an American choreographer who was highly influential to the jazz dance style. He was very simplistic yet powerful in his staging and movement. He used a cool, jazz sensibility in his choreography, yet it was burlesque in nature and sleek by choice with pelvic movement and heavy leans.
Fosse Jazz has engaging poses, angles and positions that would suit the portrait studio greatly.
Tickets are $10 for the event, which runs from 2-5 p.m.
In addition to the Burning Ground studio’s exhibition of their latest works at the Trianon and Petit Trianon Gallery, there are several other exhibitions starting as well.
Mary-Anne McTrowe is excited to present Sarah Barr’s latest installation ‘In A Thin Voice’ at McTrowe and husband David Hoffos’s Chinatown studio, Nov. 20.
“Sarah is a graduate of the University of Lethbridge, but she is in Montreal doing her master’s degree at Concordia. She is just back for this show and then goes back to Montreal,” McTrowe said adding though Barr is usually known for working in fibre, she has been working in sculpture lately utilizing books.
The current installation incorporates video and sound.
“It’s been pretty irregular that we’ve been doing shows at the studio expecially since the fire last year,” McTrowe continued adding this show is a partnership with The Trap\Door Artist’s Collective.
The opening reception is 7-9 p.m. at 310-2nd Ave South. The exhibition runs until Dec. 17.
Catherine Ross’s new exhibition “Field Sightings,” opens at 8 p.m., Nov. 20 at the Mueller Gallery.
It features a variety of sculptures of birds and forest creatures.
Local bluesman Daryll Düus will be performing at it as well.
