Animism is the belief that everything has a spirit: earth, animals, plants, humans, rivers, mountains, sun, moon, stars, galaxy, universe and multiverse.
A juried show highlighting artistic exploration of animism through all types of mediums opens with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Middletown Art Center (MAC), 21456 State Hwy. 175 in Middletown.
The show runs through March 20
Opening receptions at MAC highlight an evening of art, music and community. David Neft will be providing music during the Animism reception. Participating artists and members of MAC will also be on hand to engage the audience and share in the experience.
MAC is a non-profit arts organization and vibrant cultural hub that integrates art education, exhibitions, and events. MAC immediately resumed classes following the fire, to encourage the public’s engagement in self-expression and healing through the arts. The Center has provided free and subsidized classes to those in greatest need. Donations are needed to continue to support MACs non-profit work. When you support MAC through membership or donation, you support our community.
Located at the junction of Highways 29 and 175 in Middletown, the old Middletown Gymnasium has been transformed into a space for contemporary art and performance events. The back portion of the building serves as a studio where classes in drawing, painting, ceramics, drama and more, are offered for children, teens and adults. Check out class offerings at MiddletownArtCenter.org.
MAC is open Friday-Saturday 12-6 p.m., Sunday 12-5 p.m. or by appointment.
