“Arts enrich local communities,” said Anna Hodges, President of the Eastern Ohio Art Guild (EOAG). Creativity contributes to the development of a vibrant and growing community. Areas positively affected include a local area’s economic as well as cultural well-being.
Anna encouraged Rotary members to develop their creativity by “…taking time to really look at what’s around you.”
Rotary members learned that EOAG focuses on supporting the arts in two different areas. The Guild provides workshops, seminars, and art classes that offer individuals an opportunity to learn more about the arts. The Guild also provides a venue for artists to show and exhibit their art works.
No one is too young or too old to expand his or her art skills and knowledge. EOAG offers programming for all ages. Current activities and programming include summer camp for kids. Different activities are offered for different age levels--kindergarten to 2ed grade, 3rd to 5th, and middle school to high school. Older children are given the opportunity to learn what it is to be a studio artist
On October 30, EOAG will host Night Gallery. Guest artist Ray Basham will turn the gallery into a creepy, haunted house. Horror films will be shown in basement, and gory, gooey refreshments will be offered. Guests are invited to attend in costume. Prizes will be awarded to the Best Overall, Most Creative, and the Most Creepy. Tickets, available at EOGH, are $10 in advance and $15 at door. Night Gallery is being sponsored by South East Area Transit.
Contact 740-432-8100 for more information about programs being scheduled for December and January.
The Guild also supports an exhibit gallery. The gallery operates as a co-op. Artists wanting to exhibit pay an exhibition fee. Exhibitors do not need to be a member of the Guild to exhibit. All items exhibited must be original art. No copies are accepted.
Currently, EOAG has 95 active members and 30 sponsors. Four members are professional artists who earn a living from the sale of their art.
EOAG works to provide opportunities for local community members of all ages to become involved with art on many different levels—from that of artist or creator to art appreciator and supporter.
Byesville Rotary’s next meeting will be 7:30 am, October 5, at the Stop Nine Senior Center at 60313 (GPS use 60299) Southgate Road, Byesville. Anyone interested in learning more about the Byesville Rotary can call Membership Chairs Marty Patchen, 740-685-3828, or Larry Miller, 740-439-2767.
