“The Turning: Green” by Neil Harvey.
Join us on Friday, February 12 for our first Arts! Arcata celebration of 2010! As always we will host the event at our Arcata Plaza office on the ground floor of Jacoby’s Storehouse.
This month we are featuring the paintings of award-winning artist and radio producer, Neil Harvey, whose artwork and photographs have been shown in galleries in New York and Northern California. He currently resides in Trinity County.
Harvey will display his series of “Dream Paintings,” which were inspired by a single dream and nighttime visions while camping on a solitary retreat.
“Many abstract painters have written about pulling on inner resources and even transpersonal sources for their inspiration,” writes Harvey in his Artist Statement. “That is very much what is going on here. They are morning paintings each arising from sweet prompts that followed quiet meditation and reflection.”
Harvey is also senior producer and host of the radio series The Bioneers Revolution From the Heart of Nature and he was senior producer for New Dimensions Radio in the ‘90s.
Drop by the NEC on the 12th to check out this original art while enjoying an assortment of savory snacks and local wines provided by Libation.
Stop by at our office on the Arcata Plaza in Jacoby's Storehouse, ground floor level. We're right behind Arcata Tuxedo. Learn about volunteer opportunities, check out our lending library of environmentally oriented books, and learn more about your NEC's work.
