Feature:

The show highlights line as language, and line as art.
The centerpiece of three illustrated poems represents a nearly spontaneous collaboration by writer Kay Weeks, who lives in Historic Ellicott City, and Brooklyn, New York artist, Hiroshi Kimura. With the exception of Mr. Kimura, the artists featured are women. They live in Catonsville, Columbia, Ellicott City, Washington DC, New York, and Seattle and include Denee Barr, Rachel Coleman, Kim Parr, Rebecca Weber, Margaret Scott, Roxie Munro, Doreen Starling, Lora Robertson, Kathy Taylor, and Virginia Bates.

Still another form of the line comes into play here: the timeline. The artists range in age from the 30s to the 80s with several stops in between, so the individual and collective experience is rich and varied. The connective tissue is spirit, honesty, power, and openness. Come expecting to be fully engaged.

Denee Barr Art News and More



Denee reported for work at 6:30 am this morning at Centennial Park in Ellicott City, Maryland for the Summer of Service Howard County program. Next stop Virgin Mobile Free Music Fest 2009 @ Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, Maryland on August 30th!

A celebration of the value and importance of service, the Summer of Service (SOS) program is a unique partnership with Virgin Mobile USA, Merriweather Post Pavilion, Howard County Government and community organizations to encourage service and volunteerism this summer. At its heart is recognition of the value of devoting our most precious resources – ourselves and our time – to a cause that is much bigger than any individual. The program is grounded in the simple belief that the collective power of individuals committed to making a difference really can change our world for the better, one person and one day at a time.
