Annual Members' Meeting

YOU ARE INVITED!

December 11th

6pm-8pm

Our Annual Members’ Meeting is a time to say thank you to our Board members who are leaving us (Ann Mehr, Marian Minor, Dennis Murphy, and Mellodie Wilson) and an opportunity to visit with other members. This year we’ll partake in some CAL related trivia, eat snack, and talk a little bit about what’s coming up for 2020.

The Columbia Art League has been in the community for 60 years and we’re so excited to embark on the next 60!

Scapes

There’s a reason galleries around the world are filled with so many landscapes, seascapes and fantastical dreamscapes: at some point in our daily lives, we all crave an escape. For some that’s gazing out onto a golden hayfield beneath a huge mid-western sky, for others a view of a tumultuous ocean, or a languid wild-flower carpeted meadow, or maybe a view into another dimension, to a world other than our own.

In Scapes artists are invited to transform the gallery into a myriad of views - an exploration of the world we live in and worlds beyond, from the prosaic humdrum scapes of daily life, to inspirational views and escapist fantasies.

Comestible

Language loves food: cornucopia, ambrosia, delicatessen, confectionery, aphrodisiac, and the show’s title, comestible, are such lovely words upon the tongue, that they almost have their own flavor. Just as food has inspired such a decadent linguistic feast, so too has it provided a font of creativity for the visual artist: think of those heaving tables of the Dutch Baroque period, Arcimboldo’s surreal fruit portraits, Cezanne’s apples, Thiebaud’s Cakes or the jello art of contemporary British food artists, Bompas and Parr.

In Comestible artists are invited to explore our love of food, its role as both a necessity and a luxury in a world where gluttony is far outpaced by hunger.
