Larry Bryson’s Art Gallery Closing @ CMCM (Friday, September 20th @ 6:00 PM)

Larry Bryson’s Art Gallery Reception @ CMCM!

Friday, September 20th @ 6:00 PM

Local artist Larry Bryson shares his story about his artwork:

“There are unique moments, images, feelings, sounds, aromas presenting themselves all of the time. My work celebrates this diversity, and I hope to cause a few more. The feeling of home depends on this. Beauty depends on this. Awareness of this sort of thing is an artistic sense we all have. What is new here? My art is to show these moments in a new light and share with fellow artistic companions.

​I create images that suggest my home area in California. The shape of hills, plants and animals right here, fitted together, only happens here. That is home. I have an interesting, vibrant home with its shape and color. I also seek to display a different point of view. Some plein air painters tend to show very similar angles of view with x%

foreground, y% middle ground, and z% distance. I prefer to skew emphasis towards what that image offers that is not average.”

Submitted by Omid Indeed on Wed, 07/03/2024 - 6:28am

The Community Media Center of Marin will have a booth at the indoor Art Exhibit at the Marin County Fair. Come join us for the festivities!

The award-winning Marin County Fair is the County’s premier community event with over 120,000 attendees annually. Marin County, just north of San Francisco, is rich in creativity, nature, and community. Frank Lloyd Wright described Marin County as “one of the most beautiful landscapes” he had ever seen, with green rolling hills providing the perfect backdrop for a county fair.

The Marin County Fair is produced by the Marin County Department of Cultural Services in partnership with the Marin Cultural Association.

Celebrated as the Healthiest and Greenest County Fair on Earth since 2008, the Marin County Fair proudly features a solar powered carousel, solar powered stage, and a 92% waste diversion rate. The Fair offers fresh and healthy food choices, alcohol-free sponsorships, and a smoke-free environment for the enjoyment of all.

The Marin County Fair inspires through traditional values — Art. Agriculture. Community.
