Clay Glass Metal Stone Cooperative Gallery
Presents
Fall and Winter Schedule 2011-2012
Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery of downtown Lake Worth projects an active Fall and Winter season of activities from Themed Gallery Parties and Regular Jam Sessions with local acoustic musicians, to Fundraisers, Special Projects and Documentary Film Nights. The Gallery also plays an active part in the special activities orchestrated by the DCA (Downtown Cultural Alliance) creating city wide events for the entire community.
Clay Glass Metal Stone Gallery has seen an influx of exciting new artists and the creation of new works by its talented veterans. In keeping with the charitable tradition of a non-profit artist cooperative, the members have planned a year of creating great art as well as contributions to the greater community need. As the cooperative grows it adds new elements of art and fosters new areas of giving. All are interconnected in the projected schedule of events over the next year.
1. Every First and Third Friday, from 6-9 PM the artists host an open house with wine and cheese and foods appropriate to the theme of the evening.
2. Every Second and Forth Mondays from 7-11 PM the gallery hosts a jam session made up of local acoustic musicians. The public is welcome as audience or to play and sing along.
3. Beginning in the Fall a regularly scheduled Documentary Film Series will take place.
