Britt Fine Arts Poster “Call to Artists” announced
Britt Music & Arts Festival has opened a Call to Artists for the 2020 Fine Arts Poster. Britt is also considering artists for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The Call to Artists will be open until July 31st, 2019, and will be juried by a group consisting of local artists and Britt staff.
Britt’s Fine Arts Poster is a cherished tradition that celebrates Britt’s concert series and music through the visual arts. Britt is seeking an original piece of artwork by a local artist to commemorate the 2020 season through the annual Fine Arts Poster. Original works may be created using any visual medium that can be scanned or photographed for use in the annual Fine Arts Poster design, the Souvenir Playbill cover and other marketing materials promoting the 2020 season.
Britt prefers representational artwork over abstract, and selects pieces that are easy to incorporate into various marketing elements throughout the season. Once scanned or photographed, the original piece of artwork is donated to Britt and is placed for auction during the Best of Britt fundraising event each year. The selected artist is recognized at the Fine Arts Poster unveiling ceremony which will happen at the Season Announcement Party in April, 2020, as well as being recognized in the playbill and on the Britt website.

Guest Artist Sheri Dinardi in Salon August through September
 “Moments of Reflection”, by Sheri Dinardi. Digital image provided by the artist. 7/2019 Sheri Dinardi lives in Jacksonville, Oregon, a constant source of inspiration from the surrounding beauty. She began studying oil portrait painting with Richard McKinley and later attended workshops with Frank Covino, studying Old Master techniques. Later she continued her education through workshops with Dan Gerhartz, Michael Malm, JoAnn Peralta, and many others. She also learns from really great painting videos, attends local art academies and life painting sessions.
 “Becoming”, by Sheri Dinardi. Digital image provided by the artist. 7/2019 The focal piece in this exhibit is “A Moment of Reflection”, her most recent gallery type work which was accepted last summer for the Oil Painters of America’s Western Regional Exhibition in Boulder Colorado. About this painting Sheri writes, “I hoped to capture her momentary pause as she reflected. This girl seemed deep in thought as she twirled her long curls with her fingers. Only she knows what she was pondering. ” In our hurried lives where we are rapidly moving from one thing to the next and the next, juggling balls, answering calls and checking for what is next on the to-do list. More than ever, we need times of quiet… no expectation, just a time to rest, find peace and inspiration in simpler things.
Just a few minutes in the cool of the early morning on the porch, awaiting the sunrise can fill your soul. The chorus of birds in the trees seems to crescendo in anticipation of the sunrise marking the new day. So it is also in moments in our day when we observe life and the lives around us taking place… a conversation with a friend… time with a loved one or even a treasured pet.
Much of my work is contemplative and along this theme I will choose the work for this exhibit, in hopes you, the viewer will find joy and inspiration in the works.”

Apply now!
Imagely is excited to launch our 7th annual Imagely Fund which will offer a $5000 grant to one environmental and one humanitarian photographer to use toward interesting and meaningful projects.
Grant season offers our team an incredible chance to check out the amazing work of photographers around the globe. Each year we are inspired by, and learn from these photo stories. Whether it’s documenting wars or natural disasters, spotlighting injustices and inequalities, or highlighting issues in conservation, we feel honored to witness the impact that powerful imagery has to evoke positive change.
Interested in applying to be one of 2019’s Imagely Fund Fellows? You’ll need an online portfolio showing off your photo storytelling talents and a one-page personal statement (it should include a link to your portfolio, a short bio, a brief project description, background on your location-specific training and preparations, as well as an estimated budget).

 Art du Jour student art show entry. Image provided by Charity Hubbard
June 2019 Third Friday
Art du Jour Gallery, 213 E. Main Street in Medford eagerly anticipates a return of Charity Hubbard’s student art exhibit for our Third Friday reception on June 21st, 5-8 pm. Despite an earlier announcement that our musical entertainment would be held back for this months’ event, due to popular demand we have scheduled classical guitarist Rod Petrone to perform for the evening.
Featured Guest Artist Charity Hubbard in Salon June and July
Frequently painting from life on location “en plein air” and people from life is important to Charity Hubbard. She feels that the regular exercise of painting from life enables her to better capture life, light and a truer sense of atmosphere, even when painting from life is not possible.
 Still life by Charity Hubbard. Image provided by the artist. “It is a joy to find inspiration in the challenge of capturing life as it happens, attempting to be true to the mood and nature of what is in front of me.” Charity states on her website. “Each moment is a gift and a place in time that will never happen again, it’s a privilege to persevere in portraying the spirit of a moment in visual expression to the best of my ability.”
With a background in commercial art for Pixel Productions Inc. (a commercial art and design company), she is trained in perspective and drafting, has illustrated by commission for architects and builders and rendered technical yet artistic architectural illustrations in a variety of mediums. Her enjoyment of architectural elements is reflected in many of her paintings as well. Current art pursuits gravitate towards fine art oil paintings of people, landscape and architecture and teaching. She is also a member of Southern Oregon Society of Artists.
For more information on this artist go to her website at: www.charityhubbard.com
 Portrait by Charity Hubbard. Image provided by the artist. Student Art Show Featured Throughout the Gallery
This is Charity Hubbard’s 11th year of offering small classes that take a classical approach to art. She has taught in conference workshops and currently offers classes to youth ages 10 and up, teens and adults, rotating in subjects of study. Her classes are small, 6-10 students each, taught with the aid of an intern assistant, allowing for much individual instruction from Charity. She also offers a more intensive program where student interns can study with her for 16-18 hours a week and earn a certificate with completion of the program.
Last years’ student art show on Third Friday was the largest turnout AdJ has ever seen, with all indications that the reception this year could be just as popular. We invite the community to stop by on June 21st for the event, or throughout the month during regular gallery hours to see what these gifted students are producing.
