Achilles Print Studio Grand Opening
Saturday, January 16th, 4pm-8pm:
We would like to invite you and anyone interested in the arts to the grand opening of Achilles Print Studio! As a fine art school and gallery space, we join a growing presence of art venues in Lafayette's Oil Center, and it is exciting to be able to offer art classes of all kinds to the public! We will definitely be expanding our selection as we grow.
Art is very important for any community, and art education provides enrichment and understanding of not only the technical creation of art, but of the essence that makes each "voice" unique. We all have something to say, and it is ok to express it, to not be afraid, to go beyond and do what it takes to learn. The fundamentals of creating visual art are as important as notes in music, sound knowledge of how things work will lead to a better understanding of how to be bolder and broaden horizons.
Once the fundamentals are mastered there is nothing that you cannot do. Picasso was a classically trained artist, he paid his dues, and his work would not have been the same without his training. Rembrandt is unsurpassed in his use of oil paint, but without his training under a master painter he would never have known the fundamentals.
It is also ok to use art as therapy and escape the world by relaxing and delving into something creative, to see what will emerge. Maybe you just need something to do while hanging out with a nice group of people, or you have a child that you would like to receive art lessons.
Join us for our grand opening and meet some of the artists that will be teaching classes. There will also be fine art on exhibit.
