A Juried Exhibition presented by THE CENTRAL COAST WOODTURNERS at Art Center Morro Bay.
ABOUT THE JUROR: James Santhon was introduced to woodturning during his early teens when he was conscripted into his brother’s fledgling woodturning business gluing and cleaning up.
James served in the U.S. Navy before beginning his own career in 1969. He apprenticed under his brother for several years before striking out on his own while working at a variety of companies, including a stair company, a lamp manufacturer and several cabinet shops.
In 1998 he joined the Orange County Woodturners in Southern California and American Association of Woodturners. James began to demonstrate woodturning for local woodturning clubs in southern California, and Arizona. In 2011 he was on a discussion panel at the 25th anniversary AAW symposium in St Paul Minnesota; in 2014 he demonstrated for the North London Woodturners and was a demonstrator at the AAW symposium in Phoenix Arizona.
James occasionally offers to provide woodturning demonstrations while working full time for a large cabinet firm in the San Gabriel Valley located in Southern California.
ABOUT CCW: The Central Coast Woodturners became a chapter of the American Association of Woodtuners in September 1991. CCW endeavors to encourage and enhance wood turning skills through “sawdust” sessions, meeting at selected member shops for targeted lessons and demonstrations from world renown woodturners. The CCW has a working relationship with the Marian Regional Medical Center Foundation and Beads of Courage supplying lidded bowls and wig trees to both children and seniors dealing with cancer on the Central Coast.

Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present the fine art exhibit, Abstraction, in the Virginia Russell gallery, upstairs.
Abstract by definition is having only intrinsic form with little or no attempt at pictorial representation or narrative content. Enter the realm of self-expression and a departure from reality where every brushstroke is a form of abstraction, displaying a variety of expressive expanses. Here, sharp edges, solid colors, geometric compositions and brushed, poured or spray-painted surfaces abound.
During this exhibit, we’re throwing out the rules, where the amount of abstraction is up to the artist. That’s how art is born and breakthroughs happen.
This show is open to MBAA Members and all 2D media. Artists are welcome to submit up to 2 wall hung artworks in any size, 5 portfolio prints, 10 notes cards, 3 sculptures and jewelry.
TAKE IN: Tuesday, June 27, 2023, 10am – 2pm

INSPIRATION
WHAT: INSPIRATION
WHEN: Take-in, September 19, 2023, 10am – 2pm
RECEPTION: Sunday, 24, 2023 2-4pm

The Morro Bay Art Association proudly presents, INSPIRATION.
How does a work of art begin? What germinates the seed and how do we grow it? What motivates us to pick up a paintbrush or visualize a complex idea in a piece of glass? What drives us to bring something intangible – like the feelings of fear or sorrow - to that tangible place where others can experience it, too, and maybe even participate in the artist’s own creative catharsis?
For centuries, masters like Picasso and Monet (and even Warhol, in a more controversial way) have practiced appropriation as inspiration when they reinterpreted the aesthetics of other artists and their work to inspire new and unique masterpieces of their own. What triggers creative inspiration can begin with a spark or connection in viewing the work of another artist. Or it can be something as sensory and unassuming as the smell of rain on the parched Carrizo Plains in California. Or as life changing, still, as the Covid pandemic, or news headlines that overwhelm us daily concerning war, climate change, or the strife in Ukraine.
And, too, it can be the more silent voice from within as we gaze at our reflection in a mirror.
In the exhibit “Inspiration,” we ask artists to take us on a personal journey for what we hope to be an eclectic exhibit that is open to all platforms, mediums and ideas. We also ask that you submit a short statement describing the source of your inspiration that will be displayed alongside your work. While art in general succeeds when it is strong enough to stand on its own, we think viewers will find value and fascination in hearing from the artists in this special exhibit.
Artists are encouraged to create artworks of Inspirtaion in all media and subject matter.
This exhibit is open to MBAA Members in the main gallery. Artists are welcome to submit up to (2) wall hung artworks, (10) note cards, (5) portfolio prints and (3) 3D artworks in all media. Take-in for this show is Tuesday, September 19, 2023 10am – 2pm. Entry forms and wire tags: artcentermorrobay.org/index.php/entry-forms/
The opening reception is Sunday, September 24 from 2-4pm.
