‘Amazing Artists’ series at Scottsdale venue

Posted

The Sonoran Arts League and The Holland Center, 34250 N. 60th St., building B, have partnered to bring an “Amazing Artists” series with special artist presentations 1-3 p.m. the second Monday of each month through May 2024. The Nov. 13 presentation features glass artist Carole Perry.

A longtime arts advocate, Perry will discuss the art glass movement in America and explain how hot, warm and cold processes differ when creating glass art.

“My goal is to educate guests so that they can walk into any gallery, museum, or gift shop and recognize the different skills required to create the glass art they see,” Perry said.

A native of southern Oregon, Perry has been creating functional and sculptural glass from her Laughing Glass Studio in Cave Creek for over 30 years. In 1990, she set aside a career in computers to pursue her passion for glass full time. Perry is also one of 41 studio hosts during the popular Hidden in the Hills Artist Studio Tour, taking place during the last two weekends of November.

Reservations are $10 and all proceeds from admission will benefit the Sonoran Arts League and Holland Community Center art programs. In addition, some artists will showcase their work during the presentations, and 30% of any art sales will benefit the Sonoran Arts League.

Holland Center Executive Director Jennifer Rosvall said the Center and the League have very similar goals.

“We’re both dedicated to arts and education, so it made sense to align our efforts to create a new, unique artist series,” Rosvall said.

Future presentations will feature abstract painter Gail Haire Dec. 11; oil painter Virginia Brooks Jan. 8 2024; ceramic artist Christopher Heede Feb. 12; sculptor/mixed media artist Joanie Wolter March 11; jeweler Carol Tenwalde April 8; and ceramic artist Robin Ray on May 13.
