Jane Schafer's Work at Moneta Library

If you are out and about during the month of February, be sure and stop by the Moneta Library on Route 122 on the Bedford side of Smith Mountain Lake and see TECAC member Jane Schafer's display of paintings.  Her work will be there for the whole month; and while you are out and in the mood to look at art, come into Bedford and browse the many venues; TECAC, Goose Creek Studio, Old Jail Hill Art Space, the Bower Center, Town Kitchen and Provisions....The list goes on.  It's cold out there!  Art warms the soul.

Innovative Artwork by TECAC Member Edrie Bays

Edrie Bays is an artist who can do anything...collage, oils, acrylics, watercolor.  You should not miss seeing her work and talking to her about what she does.  She is always fascinating!  Every two months when the artists change work, it is a delight to see what has come off her easel.  The two pieces above are examples of why it is such fun to come to our Gallery and see what TECAC has to offer.

Here is a sample of artwork by artist Jane Schafer. You can see a number of Jane's terrific paintings at The Electric Company Artists Co-op. Come in and browse  The work that is now on display will be changed out on February 2nd, so come in now, and come back to see new work from all the TECAC artists in February. Our gallery is never static.  We are always finding new and innovative ways to keep things fresh and fun.  

"Franco" - SOLD at Artists on Depot

Above is a painting done by artist Rod Adams which has been sold and is now part of the permanent collection at the Courthouse.  This young  boy from Uganda is "Franco."  All of Rod's paintings are quite wonderful and should be seen in person.  Come over to TECAC and Artists on Depot and watch him paint, take one of his on-going classes, or just talk to him about his paintings or art in general.  You will be glad you did.

TECAC PICKED AS BEST NEW BUSINESS

The Electric Company Artist Co-op was picked as "Business of the Year for 2013-2014" by the Bedford Professional Women.  It is a huge honor for us to be recognized by this prestigious group.  Above, artists Perri Mason and Suzanne V.

Featured Artist for January, 2014, Jerome Sturm

What a great way to start the new year off!  Come to TECAC Gallery and see our Featured Artist for January, Jerome Sturm.  His work is just plain wonderful, and he is so interesting to talk to.  If you come to Second Friday, he will tell you about how he photographs the images.  It isn't just point and shoot :-)  We hope you will have a chance to see this exhibit.
