St. Louis based artist and Washington University Sam Fox School of Architecture Professor Ben Fehrmann will be our guest for Where to Start: Site Analysis and Design Thinking for Public Art.

Alexandria Artist Grants
Monday, October 22, 7:00 pm and Thursday, October 25, 2:00 pm. The Alexandria Commission for the Arts is conducting two workshops to provide information about its annual grant program. The goals of the Commission’s grant program are to encourage artistic excellence in the City; assist Alexandria-based arts organizations in improving their financial, administrative, and management capabilities; and provide individual artists with opportunities to create, perform, and present their works. Applications for grants are due November 16. For more information, click here.

And don’t forget about the free Liquitex paint demonstration happening Monday at The Art League!
