Councilmember Kevin Dayhoff Arts Council report for the June 10, 2019 Westminster
mayor and Council meeting:
There are quite a number of other events coming to the Arts Council.
For the sake of time, I will just mention two events here. For more information
go to: www.CarrollCountyArtsCouncil.org
I was not able to attend the
annual Art in the Park festival held on the grounds of Westminster City Hall. In
1993 I exhibited at the first Art in the Park and have exhibited a number of
times in the past, but this year I volunteered to help with the horses at the
annual Equestrian Special Olympics.
“The Art of the
Musical Instrument” June 20 through August 9, 2019
Some of the highlights
include: “The Art of the Musical Instrument” Exhibit at the Carroll Arts Center
The Carroll Arts Center is
proud to be hosting a new exhibit in the Tevis Gallery from June 20 through
August 9, 2019. The “The Art of the Musical Instrument” weaves together sound,
narrative, history, and actual musical instruments. Guest curator Ryan A.
Koons, PhD, focuses on musical instruments as crafted art objects with diverse
histories as well as objects that create beautiful sounds.
This exhibit coincides with a
performance by Wherligig,
the Carroll-based traditional Celtic and Nordic acoustic ensemble, who will perform on Saturday, June
29 at 8 pm using several instruments from the exhibit.
Also on exhibit in the
Community Gallery are artworks by members of the Carroll County Camera Club in a show titled “Lens Art”
featuring new works in a variety of photographic styles.
The public is invited to a … reception for both exhibits on Thursday,
June 20, 2019 from 5 to 7 pm.
Complimentary hors d'oeuvres and cash bar will be part of the festivities. The
exhibit is free and open to the public.
Respectfully submitted Councilmember
Kevin Dayhoff. Any questions, never hesitate to be in touch.
