 | RETROforward! For artCentral’s 30th Anniversary, we’re celebrating RETROforward!—honoring our rich legacy as we stretch into our expansive fourth decade serving art and artists. We’re RETRO—looking back to what was--and forward!—spinning the passé into newness. Think upcycle. Think updo. Think repurpose. Think renew. |
During this celebration season, you artCentral Artists have THREE opportunities to strut your best stuff. RETROforward! (Show and Sale) is April 17-26; our ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP EXHIBITION (Awards) is June 12-28; and THE GREENING OF HYDE HOUSE (Show and Sale) is December 1-5 for artist-decorated trees and ornaments.

A master of RETROforward!, Frank Young will present his SEEN and UNSEEN Exhibition, March 20-April 5. Frank first exhibited at artCentral in 2008 with his plein air oil paintings showcasing his fascination with people, environments and situations. This year he returns with an impressive encore, taking these same artistic inspirations and his same signature selective palette, and painting new life and new light, new scenes and new subjects with confidence. The Opening Reception, at 6 pm on Friday, March 20, the first day of spring, will be the perfect beginning for this not-to-be-missed, all new RETROforward! collection.
Many of you have been terrifically supportive of my own RETROforward! choice to take the skills and experiences gathered over a lifetime and pour them and myself into artCentral. While applauding my focus, you express concern that I’m too busy with artCentral to have time for my own art. Well, yes and no. I’m simply moving onto a larger canvas. With pleasure and with you, I’m brushing bold new strokes for artCentral’s future. The satisfactions are exhilarating. Thank you for your encouragement and help. We’re all in this together. Going RETROforward! with artCentral is all good!
