CHANGE TO GENERAL MEETING PROGRAM FOR OCTOBER

According to Barbara Mellin, our October speaker, we don’t have to go to the Louvre, the Metropolitan, MOMA or the Smithsonian to find artwork by renowned artists or visit SOHO to find good contemporary art. We have examples right here in Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point. Barbara will show us where to look in her slide presentation, Museums and Galleries of the Triad. Barbara is enthusiastic about the arts of our area and looks forward to sharing her discoveries with us.

We know Barbara as this year’s President of Newcomers. She is also an art historian and artist who has been involved in the arts for almost 40 years. Barbara has presented at a conference in Armenia and exhibited her own artwork in, and served as juror for, numerous art shows and exhibits. She was a public and private school Art Specialist and served as Chair of the Reading, MA Arts Council. Barbara won Harvard’s Crite Prize for Humanities Research, has lectured on the arts for museums, colleges and art associations, and has also illustrated a book.

Barbara created the Young Artists Studio for children, where she taught for 25 years, and has taught college-level courses in Art History and Studio Art/Drawing for more than a decade. She founded and served as Editor in Chief of the bi-monthly magazine Arts Around Boston, which was honored by the governor in 1999. As a free-lance arts writer, she has published nearly 200 articles in national and international magazines. Barbara currently writes a syndicated column called ArtSmart Travels and is a contributing columnist for Renaissance magazine. She is also an arts advocate, who co-founded (with her sister) the Boston-based non-profit ArtsFirst to sponsor conferences for students, artists and educators. As an independent gallery curator, she has created exhibitions at the Whistler House Museum, Bradford College, the Federal Courthouse, Boston and other venues. Barbara was also the curator of the Owen Smith Shuman Gallery in Groton, MA for two years before moving to Winston-Salem.
