The Lee Arts Center, a program of the Arlington
Cultural Affairs Division, is housed in the Lee Community Center, pictured
above.
Studios for ceramics and printmaking are maintained in large,
airy rooms
with abundant natural light. There are ongoing open studio programs in
pottery,
ceramic sculpture, tilemaking, and printmaking.
The
Open Studio program is designed specifically for self-directed
individuals working at advanced levels in ceramics or print media. The
equipment and facility are made available for those who are without a studio
of their own. No ongoing instruction is given. Participants are expected to
be able to function independently with regards to their own work, as well as
to perform technical tasks
essential to the operation of the studio as a
whole and to use and maintain studio equipment
responsibly.
The Master Workshop program provides
opportunities to interact with visiting master artists in
one, two and
three-day workshops covering a wide variety of media. Lectures, advanced
skills classes and professional development seminars for independent visual
artists are also presented.
The
Mini Gallery is a small exhibition space within the Lee Arts Center
which provides an opportunity for local and national artists to show their
work in approximately 12 solo and group shows per year.
The Mini Gallery
consists of a 25 foot hallway within the center illuminated by gallery track
lighting which can accommodate both two dimensional and three dimensional
work.
Please add me to the Lee Arts Center Mailing list.
The Arlington Cultural Affairs Division
recognizes
the power of the arts and creative expression to transform lives;
build the well being, economic health and vitality of a community; and
provide a forum for social change. Its
mission is to
"create an environment
that fosters excellence
in the
... visual arts and that enable artists to
thrive."
The division's programs and services are focused on integrating
the
arts into the fabric of daily life.
