May 24: Meet Our Blacksburg Featured Artist, Tara Fowlkes

Join us in Blacksburg on Saturday, May 24 from noon to 5:00 pm for a special meet-the-artist event (complete with artist demonstrations) with local artist Tara Fowlkes.

Tara, a lifelong artist based in Blacksburg, brings her passion for creating with natural materials to our Blacksburg gallery; we are proud to have her work displayed in our featured artist nook and to have her nature based pieces displayed in a wooded outdoor setting beside our Center. She is known for her ethically sourced dreamcatchers, and pieces incorporating found objects, vines and branches, and other organic materials.

Artist Demonstrations:

Tara will use this afternoon to make wreaths and tie shells onto beaver sticks. She will show visitors how to make dream catchers and peace signs out of sticks.

You'll leave inspired by what can be created with just a few natural elements.

Location: 860 University City Blvd, Suite 105, Blacksburg, VA 24060

This event is free and open to all (donations will be accepted). We look forward to seeing you there!
