News from Radiant Jasmin

“Swirls of Color, Dance and the Blues” is a unique multi-event exhibit
featuring local artists Radiant Jasmin and Gordon Cowan from October 17th to November 14th. The opening reception is Saturday, October 17th from 5-8pm. Radiant Jasmin’s performance is scheduled for 6:30pm.

Invoking a broad musical theme, Cowan will exhibit his soulful and atmospheric blues paintings and in addition, will also introduce his gypsy series of paintings and drawings inspired by the multi-talented Radiant Jasmin, herself an artist, dancer, vocalist and poet.

Radiant Jasmin will be exhibiting her vibrant and spirited abstract multi-media paintings, floral photography and jewelry. In tune with the show’s theme, she will be reciting her poetry and performing several dances that sparked her artistic collaboration with Cowan earlier this year.

In an intriguing marriage of music and visual art, Radiant Jasmin may be seen as alternately exuberant and reflective as rendered by Cowan working with graphite and charcoal on old sheet music. Each piece was carefully chosen based on the composition’s title which plays directly to the mood and tenor of the drawing.

Join us for refreshments, fine art, wine, woman and song! Engage all your senses! It’s a wonderful way to spend a Saturday evening in October.

The Henson Jackson Art Gallery is located in Stoughton Center at 2 Canton Street, adjacent to the Stoughton Commuter Rail station. Plenty of free parking is available.

WELCOME

Welcome to Artventures Tours, where we are dedicated to providing

PAINTING IN PROVENCE

We are currently accepting reservations for our September trip to Provence,

which is scheduled for departure on September 16, returning on September 26th.

The trip will be hosted by Gini Hayes, a world traveler and bilingual guide and

Mary Callahan painting instructor at SSAC and the NRAS. Mary is a director of the

New England Watercolor Society, Copley Master in the Copley Society of Art and

much more.

We will spend our first and last nights in Nice, one of the Riviera's most intriguing

cities, and one week at the charming Hotel La Garigue, nestled in the countryside

between Venasque and L'Isle sur la Sorgue, two of the most memorable towns of

Luberon. Amenities of the hotel include a swimming pool and lush gardens, and

breakfast and dinner will be served there each day.

During your stay, you will have the option of painting in Roussillon, Venasque,

L'Isle sur la Sorgue or the spectacular hill towns of Gordes and Bonnieux,

to drink in the famous Luberon light. Follow in the footsteps of Cezanne and fill

Art is the draw in Cohasset Food, music also attract big crowds By Robert Knox, Globe Correspondent | June 18, 2009 Festival-goers come for the traditions - a favorite vendor, a lobster roll sandwich or fried dough treat, music by a regional bluegrass band - but they stay for the art, say the organizers of the annual South Shore Art Center Arts Festival. Drawing big crowds every year, the three-day festival on the Cohasset Common features art exhibitions, craft artists offering handmade jewelry, ceramics, clothing, and photography, music, arts and craft demonstrations, a kids’ tent, and favorite foods. But you can come expecting the familiar and be startled by a close encounter with a high-quality work of art, the organizers say. “That’s the kind of thing I love for people to discover,’’ said Diane Kennedy, assistant director of the South Shore Art Center, the festival’s parent organization. “They walk in thinking to buy some item, and - ‘Oh, my gosh!’ - they discover work at that level.’’ At the festival’s heart are two large shows, about 200 pieces in each: a juried show open to all artists, and a show for the art center’s members. The center, which offers classes for both adults and children and mounts shows year-round in its Cohasset home, has about 1,000 members. Those taking classes at the center look forward all year to the event. “They wait to find the right piece,’’ Kennedy said. “They get it framed and show it off. It’s a big selling day.’’ The juried show draws entries from all of the South Shore and Greater Boston. Best in show this year was awarded to Vcevy Strekalovsky of Hingham, who is also one of the festival’s attractions. Strekalovsky will demonstrate his technique by executing a “plein-air’’ painting outdoors at the festival, and respond to questions while he works. “He’s so engaging,’’ Kennedy said, “with people watching, talking. He’s a fast painter and a very skilled one.’’ Last year Strekalovsky painted a view of the Cohasset green looking toward its two picturesque churches. Titled “Arts Festival 2008,’’ it’s on view at the art center as part of a silent auction. His best-in-show painting is “Burditt Lane,’’ of hometown Hingham. Well-known watercolorist Becky Haletky of Pembroke will also demonstrate at the festival. Haletky, who has a studio overlooking a pond in Pembroke, speaks on her website of “the rush of excitement I feel when sitting down to a blank piece of paper, and then turning it into a work of art that only I can create.’’ That’s the kind of engagement the festival celebrates, Kennedy said. “We invite everyone to discover the artist in themselves.’’ With the help of two new regional sponsors (Lemon Lime Aveda salon and Yachting Dog), this year the kids’ tent will offer children the opportunity for hands-on creativity in drawing, painting, and working with clay - skills offered by the art center. Another new activity is a little more off the beaten track: hair braiding. The center’s own tent will focus on examples of Chinese brush painting by Qingxioang Ma, who teaches a weekly class at the South Shore Art Center. The tent will also showcase the work of some of Ma’s students. Scholarship help is available for students interested in studying traditional Chinese brush or Japanese brush painting (known as sumi-e). The arts festival’s own traditions include the regional bluegrass band Sue Rocha Trio on Saturday at 2 p.m. and American Irish music of The O’Reillys at 1 p.m. Sunday. On the common, music is also provided by the Cohasset Middle and High School Jazz Ensemble at 5 p.m. Friday; by the Rusty Skippers at 12:30 p.m. and the Satuit Band at 4 p.m. on Saturday; and by the Nat Seelen Jazz band at noon and the South Shore Bay Band (a regional wind ensemble) at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. Events taking place at the art center, at 119 Ripley Road, include a chance to visit a printmakers’ studio and a silent auction. And as for those favorite festival foods - lobster roll at the neighboring First Parish Church and strawberry shortcake at the Second Congregational Church - remain on the menu. Fried dough, as well. “One person told me, ‘This is the only time all year I have fried dough,’ ’’ Kennedy said. Robert Knox can be reached at rc.knox2@gmail.com.

June 6 - July 18, 2009

Reception: Saturday, June 20, 3-5pm

In the Office Gallery–Radiant Jasmin (Rockland) for her first Boston solo exhibition, “Undulations of Color” is also showing a new installation. Jasmin is a visual artist who practices other art forms-- multi-media dance, jewelry design/fabrication, poetry and voice/singing. For this installation, she is using food packing materials and more specially the materials used to keep apples from bruising. It is comprised of two “works”- “Softly Swaying” and “Rainbows with Golds” a work that is composed of 40 individual panels. She states, “In this installation I use the convex side of packing insert trays that are placed between apples to prevent them from being bruised. I noticed these trays in the produce section of food stores and loved the waved surface immediately. They represent the ebb and flow of life, up and down, in and out as well as the synchronistic reuse of a precious material and express the need to achieve balance in one’s personal existence and in nature. My next installation in this series will feature the concave side of the trays”. She has exhibited extensively in Massachusetts at such venues as Bunker Hill Community College, the L’Attitude Gallery, the Indigena Gallery, the Arsenal Center for the Arts, Roxbury & Mission Hill Open Studios, 4th Floor Artists Open Studios. Jasmin has performed locally at the Museum of the National Center of Afro-American Artists, Milky Way Lounge, Dorchester Open Studios, Wake Up the Earth Festival, Haven Art Lounge, and the Ronan Park Festival. She has studied at the North Bennet Street School and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
