This May Starkweather Arts Center will pay homage to a bit of its history and also celebrate Lewis Carroll’s timeless “Alice in Wonderland”. Before Starkweather became an art center, even before it was Helen Starkweather’s residence, it was a millinery. Helen’s family made and sold hats out of this beautiful storefront on Main Street and over the years, through many renovations, evidence of their workspace still remain in our gallery. Mad Hatter’s Tea Party isa juried exhibit that will explore the themes and characters in Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”. We are accepting all media, both 2D and 3D work. Artwork will be juried either via email or, for local work, upon the drop off date.
Important Dates:
April 13th - Entry forms due
April 28th - Art Drop-off
May 4th - Opening Reception 7-9pm
May 26th - Last day of the show

WBRW, which is a local cable access channel in Romeo, came and filmed the opening of my Day of the Dead show at Starkweather Arts Center. This is a 10-minute synopsis, but you can also watch the full program, footage of just the art, and just footage of The Hand in the Ocean’s performance.
