NEW TOYS for ARTISTS!
The Southern Oregon Society of Artists March 27 Meeting will be at the Medford Public Library at 6:30 pm. We are excited to have Central Art owner Anne Ebert and employees Laura Strazdas and Adam Bunch for our March program again this year. The fact that they have been in business here in Medford for the past thirty-six years is a testament to their importance to local artists. There will be a demo on the use of colored pencil which has recently come into favor. New products will be shown and there will be time to chat with them regarding all the various products. The world is quickly changing, and the new products for artists are changing, too. New Toys for Artists!! Come find out about it.

36 years ago George and Winnie Ebert set out on a new adventure, expanding their art supply business from Coos Bay to Medford, Oregon. Because of their hard work and dedication to the fine art industry, Central Art has been the creative destination for artists throughout the Rogue Valley and beyond.
We are committed to supporting and providing materials to the strong art community we have here. To celebrate that commitment, we are turning back the clock to products that stood the test of time in the art materials industry – and here at Central Art – some going back as far as 1557!
With history as our foundation, we will continue to bring you the best and latest products to support your creative endeavors. With that in mind we are hosting our 6th Annual Creative Art Extravaganza on February 17th and 18th, where vendors will showcase over 50 of the finest our industry has to offer. Adding to the hoopla, there will be opportunities like entering to win prizes and signing up for one of our mini workshops!

Now through February 1st, shovel in the savings on essentials like stretched canvas, painter’s palettes, sketchbooks, mediums and more!

“A Hint of Spring of Oregon” One-day Sumi Painting Workshop
Welcome the coming of Spring!
This workshop will concentrate energetic strokes and create paintings of early greens in Sumi style. We will use sumi ink to paint on Sprinkle Gold paper, to interpret flowers in Sumi style. The fusion of western and Eastern techniques is encouraged. Photos of local blooming and live flowers, branches are welcome. Please for repeating students, bring your sketch screen books and we will transfer sketch to paintings.
This workshop welcomes beginning and professional artists. We will work a lot on individual base. Painters new to sumi-e, and those experienced in East Asian watercolor painting will be introduced and encouraged to look at the “World” in a different artistic perspective. There will be demos, exercises, and one-on-one attention.
Philosophy and brief history of Chinese and Asian art and usage of Chops will be discussed in the workshop.
Bring a bag lunch. Pre-registration required, seating is limited. Call 541-773-1444 or come in to Central Art to reserve your spot.
