SUMMARY:Art Exhibit Reception: A Secret Garden by Gabrielle Dolin
DESCRIPTION:Step into A Secret Garden\, a visually rich collection of works exploring the beauty\, intricacy\, and symbolism of the natural world. Through delicate studies of plant life\, mushrooms\, insects\, ornamental glass\, and tile\, this exhibit blends the organic with the ornamental—infused with the graceful curves and decorative elegance of the Art Nouveau movement. \nPrimarily working in watercolor and oil\, Gabrielle Dolin draws inspiration from Michigan’s native flora and fauna\, combining artistic tradition with contemporary reflection. Underneath the visual allure lie deeper themes of connection\, rejection\, intimacy\, and the transformation of parts into wholes—offering viewers a quiet invitation to discover personal meaning in each piece. \nThe artist is a self-taught creative from Fowlerville\, Michigan\, and a graduate of Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelor’s in Psychology. Currently pursuing a master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy at Wayne State University\, she brings a therapeutic lens to her creative process. Her work has been featured in Cellar Roots and the Riverside Arts Center\, and she received honorable mention at the Three Cities Art Club’s Juried Exhibition for her piece Nouveau Ballet. In addition to her personal art practice\, she serves as a Therapeutic Arts Specialist with the Partnership for the Arts and Humanities\, helping young artists find expression and healing through creative exploration. \nJoin us at the Village Arts Factory for the exhibit opening reception on Friday\, July 11\, from 6pm to 8pm. A Secret Garden is more than a visual journey—it’s a testament to the beauty of close observation\, the quiet symbolism of nature\, and the healing potential of art.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit Reception: Nature's Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Nature’s Beauty\, a solo exhibition by Courtney Crider\, is about celebrating the natural beauty of both people and nature – highlighting Black beauty in honor of Juneteenth. Courtney believes that every human is a beautiful creation\, formed by God himself. This Juneteenth\, she wants to highlight Black beauty alongside His floral creations. \nCourtney’s art is first drawn digitally\, freehand on a tablet with a stylus. Her work is then printed as giclee art prints with some of them hand embellished with a variety of materials. Creating mixed media artwork is a newer discipline for Courtney\, as she recently began experimenting with collage art and wanted to incorporate that with her digital paintings. This exhibition will be her first time unveiling her mixed media work to the public eye. Nature’s Beauty will feature new pieces inspired by florals and black beauty\, paired with old favorites that have been newly embellished with mixed media materials. \nA passage from the Bible\, Matthew 6:28-34\, is one thing that inspired this exhibition’s theme: “The lilies of the field neither toil nor spin\, yet they are beautiful as they are. God made them that way. And if even the wild grass is clothed with such beautiful lilies\, how much more will He clothe\, oh yes\, you? If God takes delight in His floral creations\, how much more joyful is He over the beauty of his human creations?” \nPlease join us for the opening reception of Nature’s Beauty on Monday\, June 2 from 6:00 to 9:00pm. All are welcome to come explore the exhibit\, meet the artist\, and partake in light refreshments. The exhibit will remain on public display at the Village Arts Factory through the end of June. Regular gallery hours are 9:00am to 7:00pm\, Monday through Saturday. For more information about the exhibit\, please contact us at: kevin.ryan@cantonmi.gov

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit Reception: Myriad Textures of Musings
DESCRIPTION:The Village Arts Factory is proud to welcome Detroit-based artist Marcia K. Hales for an extraordinary solo art exhibition this May\, titled Myriad Textures of Musings. The exhibit will feature nearly three-dozen of the artist’s signature\, abstract works. Join us for the opening reception on Tuesday\, May 6\, from 6:00 to 8:00pm. Browse the exhibit\, meet the artist\, and enjoy a variety of light refreshments. There is no cost to attend and all are welcome. \nAbout the Exhibit \nMyriad Textures of Musings\, a solo exhibition by Detroit-based artist Marcia K. Hales\, invites viewers into a dynamic interplay of depth\, movement\, and imagination. Known for her ability to transform space through abstract forms and layered textures\, Hales creates works that reflect her musings on everyday life and imagined experiences. Her newest pieces encourage the eye to dance freely across the canvas\, engaging both visually and emotionally. \nRooted in a lifelong passion for the handmade\, Hales began painting in her hometown of Farmington\, Michigan. Her artistic journey has taken her across the country—from studying and exhibiting in Massachusetts and California to settling in Northern Michigan for nearly two decades. Since 2020\, she has called Detroit home\, where she remains an active participant in the local arts community. \nHales holds an MFA in Design from UMass Dartmouth and has exhibited internationally\, with her work held in collections across the U.S.\, Mexico\, the Netherlands\, France\, and Turkey. She has been featured in numerous solo exhibitions and continues to be represented by Twisted Fish Gallery in Elk Rapids\, Michigan. \nIn Myriad Textures of Musings\, Hales offers a collection of recent linear works that blur the line between the tangible and the abstract. Inspired by fleeting moments—a forest of trees\, children at play\, or the imagined rhythm of music—her paintings serve as open invitations to explore\, reflect\, and\, perhaps\, get quietly lost within them.

SUMMARY:The Art of Jazz: Art Reception & Live Jazz with Kathy Kosins
DESCRIPTION:The Village Arts Factory welcomes local jazz legend and celebrated visual artist Kathy Kosins for a special evening of art\, jazz\, and conversation! Join us in celebrating the start of Jazz History Month with live jazz music and the opening reception of Kathy’s art gallery exhibit\, titled The Art of Jazz\, featuring her signature improvisatory paintings on canvas. Generously sponsored by Edward Jones of Cherry Hill Village and Expressions Music Academy\, this event will run from 6:00 to 9:00pm at the Village Arts Factory and is free and open to the public. Meet the artist\, browse the gallery exhibit\, experience the sweet sounds of live jazz\, and enjoy a variety of snacks and light refreshments. If you love art and jazz\, this event is not to be missed! For more information\, please contact us at: kevin.ryan@cantonmi.gov \n \nAbout the Artist: \nKathy Kosins is an interdisciplinary artist and a master of improvisation. Her art quite literally translates from stage to canvas. She may be best known for her successful career as a critically acclaimed jazz and soul artist\, yet all the while Kosins has been quietly gaining ground in the modern art world as well. \n“For me\, art and music are one in the same\,” Kosins says. “There’s no separation and there never has been.” Self-taught as musician\, composer and visual artist\, Kosins creates abstract acrylic paintings on canvas. A mid-century modern aesthetic has long inspired her work. Cubist and surrealist artists of the 1950s and 1960s inform her technique. \nKosins never studied art or music. Still\, she’s made a decades-long career in those fields. “My artwork is total improvisation\,” she says. “There is no preconceived composition.” At most\, Kosins may choose a color palette ahead of time. She believes in creating art when the moment strikes. That is exactly how she began painting from a live music stage. \nThose who have had the opportunity to see Kosins perform – and paint on stage – know it’s a rarity. Kosins often says she “hears color and sees sound\,” a condition known as synesthesia. As the band continues to play an impromptu instrumental on stage\, she applies color and strokes – each inspired visually by the interpretation of the music. The end result is an abstraction of the music being played. \nKosins is passionate about making art. Enough so that she created a clinic to guide aspiring or professional artists through the process itself. Titled\, “Improvisation on Canvas\,” Kosins has taught courses to students of all ages – at high schools\, performing arts schools\, colleges and continuing education courses across the country. \nKosins’ commissioned paintings are held in private collections throughout the US and Europe.
