Since this is the first Blog for the Bower Center, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and the Center to you the reader. As an aside - I am so new to blogging that this is my first toe dip in the waters of blogging; please be patient with me. First of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Amy and I am the Director at the Bower Center and will be the one to provide most of the updates here. I am an Artist myself and enjoy working with graphite, color pencil, oils and even dabble with pastels. Perhaps I will share a sampling of my work at some point. (Have to think on that one :) The Bower Center is a wonderful place that has taken on the sometimes daunting task of providing an all around venue for the Arts in Bedford. In the upcoming year we are planning a full schedule of Fine Art Exhibits, Performing Arts, Music Education through our wonderful Music Lab as well as classes and workshops in a broad variety of Visual Arts.
So... Why the blog? We are doing our best to keep up with the times and I plan to use blogging to not only keep people informed of what is new at the Center, but would also like to use this as an opportunity to share with everyone general information of interest to followers of the Arts. Updates will be posted (hopefully) on a weekly basis with one of those posts each month featuring an Artist from our center. I am also hoping to have our volunteers, artist and possibly board members contribute on a regular basis.
I would love to get feedback, and have readers share their thoughts, suggestions and artistic experiences!
We have just updated our website which you can find a link to on the right of this page. Some of the pages have not been completed yet, but I am getting there - Whew! Who knew that creating this site from scratch would take up so much of my time? We have some wonderful new art classes coming up that can be viewed on the site. Check it out. We also have new artists exhibiting in our shop and I will post some images of their work as soon as possible.
That's all for right now but I will bring more info soon. Thanks for reading.
