The latest issue of The Item contains a feature article on Collins Artworks: Gallery fulfills dream of artists with passion.

And the Times-Courier had an article on us on July 17: Artist family draws students, patrons to downtown gallery.

If you have a few minutes and would like to know more about us, these articles are a good place to start.

In addition to the paper forms we have for our various services, we recently added online forms that you can use instead. Online forms are available for the summer art camp registration, after school art class registration, adult art class registration, and "contact us". For the class registration forms, you can also pay for the classes you want using Paypal. But please call us first to make sure there's space.

Additional online and downloadable forms will be added as we find the time to post them.

Thanks!

Due to popular demand, we decided to add the last week in August to our summer art camp schedule. The week of August 24 through August 28, 2009 will be called Discovery Planet. The theme is exploring unknown places and animals, from what lies under your feet to out of this world. The following week marks the beginning of our after school art program. See the side bar for our class list.

Register now for our after school art program. Children can come to art class anytime from 3-5:30 pm. Collins Artworks- Sheryll Collins will be picking children up at the Clinton Elementary for our after school art program for an extra fee. Let us know if you need this service when signing up. We are also planning programs for home schoolers, and girl and boy scout groups. Call us for details.

Saturday art classes for kids will begin in September and will run from 1 PM to 3 PM. Saturday mornings are set aside for adult classes which are still being designed. We are considering either a watercolor class or drawing class. If you have a preference or would like to see a class in another media or subject, please let us know.

You can register online for any of these classes. See the side bar for forms and brochures.

If you have a kid's birthday coming up, consider having a Saturday afternoon art party. Call us for more information and to schedule a party.

Recently, we were staying open until 8 PM on Thursdays as part of a local effort to bring business to the area, but starting this Thursday, August 20, our adult art classes begin. In order to accommodate the classes, we decided to start closing at 5 PM again.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Elinor Gentilman, one of our artists, was kind enough to provide us with pictures from our artists reception held August 7, 2009. Click here to go to the photo album.

We had our grand opening on August 15, 2009, and Judy Tyler, one of our artists, took some pictures. Click here to go to the photo album. Thanks, Judy!

Richard Keating's abstract acrylic paintings- "Kaleidoscope" will be on exhibit at the Art On Rotation Gallery at High St. Cafe 310 High St. Clinton, MA 01510.

Grigor Kotnani watercolor paintings exhibit, "Vibrance,"will be on display at the Art On Rotation Gallery at the Thayer Memorial Library May through June 2010. The exhibit can be viewed in the adult reference room during library hours. Grigor's use of color will pull you into his paintings to enjoy.

Grigor Kotnani was born in 1986 and raised in Korce, Albania. He learned to paint at the age of five. He moved to United States when he was 11 without knowing English and successfully completed and Art major at Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts. Grigor works primarily with oil and watercolor with a distinct style in each medium. He is particularly well known for the brilliant use of colors in his watercolors.

My latest art has become more of vibrant colors over paper. The reason I am using this technique is to make my landscapes and still lives appear full of life or livelier than reality. I feel that by using vibrant colors and attractive backgrounds the viewer falls into the painting deeper than they otherwise would. I consider all my paintings to be more of a connection of my inner world with the outer image that I see every day. My paintings can be best described as expressive and energetic.
