Come to Our July Arts Fellowship

MOUNTAIN EMPIRE CREATIVE ARTS COUNCIL (MECAC)
INVITES YOU TO OUR JULY ARTS FELLOWSHIP
TUESDAY, JULY 15, 7:00 PM TO 8:30 PM
PINE VALLEY LIBRARY COMMUNITY ROOM

FEATURED ARTIST: DIANNE HOLLY
Senior Lecturer, Emeritus, UC Santa Barbara Drama Department

A new resident of Pine Valley, Dianne, recently elected as a MECAC Board Member, will be developing projects for the Mountain Empire region in the genre of drama and theatre design. Dianne will tell us about her career and what she wants to help accomplish here as part of MECAC.

Theatre Design is a collaborative art form that starts from the point of view of the script and the director's vision. As a theatre designer, her goal is to help reveal the world of the play and the characters that inhabit that world.

Designers use the same techniques and tools that all artists use. They work with line, color, texture, space (both positive and negative), form, balance, and also function, all to control the viewers' focus and create a visual world that not only pleases but informs the viewer. As a theatre designer, Dianne throughly enjoys the process of research which encompasses not only the visual history of a period but also explores the social, political, artistic, moral, and spiritual aspects of that world.

If you are an artist, a crafts-person, a "wannabe," or simply believe in encouraging the arts, you will find yourself at home among us. We are stretching our wings, ready to "fly" in new directions. Come be a part of our ongoing adventure! Come meet our July Artist -- DIANNE HOLLY -- and schmooze with us!

DON'T FORGET TO STOP BY ON PINE VALLEY DAY, JULY 26, TO SEE OUR ARTS & CRAFTS BOOTH!
