X DAYS OPEN ART STUDIOS: TREE SANCTUARY ART STUDIO

We invite you to join artist Marcus Maria Jung for a NATURE WALK & NATURAL WOOD SCULPTURE ART CLASS. In this workshop Marcus we will explore creating art with natural materials found in nature and learn the basics skills for working with wood and creating natural wood sculptures and objects. Participants will learn how to work with hand tools and how to apply basic wood-working techniques that will be taught and practiced. The main focus of this class is on how to work with found materials from nature and in particular wood as a material to create art. Tools and materials will be provided. Participants with any level of wood-working skills are welcome, yet previous experience is not necessary. In collaboration with the Bioregional Ecology Center of Mount Shasta

I’m participating with my artwork ~ mostly sculpture & photography ~ in the first ECO-ART Gallery at the Mount Shasta Earth Day Festival this coming Saturday at the City Park.

In the words of the Bioregional Ecology Center of Mount Shasta who is hosting the Earth Day Festival: ‘Conservation through Creation’ is a perfect example of what can be. Eco-Art can bring awareness and inspire conservation & care for the natural world.

Looking forward seeing you there!

Middletown Art Center presents: HOME EXHIBIT OPENING
Join us this Saturday, December 5th from 6 pm to 7:30 pm for a lively conversation with the Artists, and a virtual guided gallery tour hosted by MAC Co-Curators Nicola Chipps and Lisa Kaplan on Zoom. This final exhibit of 2020 speaks to the places where humans and other living beings establish roots, the shelters we occupy, and our sense of the places we call ‘Home’.

As an introduction to his sculptural installation, Marcus Maria Jung will guide the audience into a dialog and ritual with the artwork, the natural world and each other. In his sculptural work he explores the universal themes of transience, loss and the deep human longing for belonging to our planet during in a time of ecological crisis. Through his words, guided imagery and deep listening the artist explores the realms of tree and nature spirits alive and embodied in the magical and mystical realms of nature, and the urgent need to renew our connection with the natural world.
