The Churchill Arts Council will present a conversation with Tuscarora artist, Elaine Parks, on her exhibition of recent ceramics, “Some Place / Somewhere” at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Oats Park Art Center.
The conversation will be followed by a reception for the artist from 5-7 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
Parks is the recipient of a 2009 Individual Artist's Fellowship from the Nevada Arts Council and her ceramic works are influenced by the vegetation, landscape and landforms of the Nevada desert — referencing things as diverse as stars, rock striations and ant hills.
For her, they are evocations of the kind of relaxed subtle “looking” that desert landscapes — the overlapping visual patterns created by the juxtaposition of natural and human-made elements — both provide and require.
The conversation will provide an opportunity to engage with the artist whose works are deeply rooted in the landscapes we all share.
For more information, please call 423-1440.
CAC's fall film series will focus on “Lives of the Artists” and will begin on Oct.9 with a screening of “Artemisia,” a 1997 portrayal of the life of the Baroque artist, Artemisia Gentilischi (1593-1653), featuring Valentina Cervi and Michel Serrault.
The series will continue with a showing of “Camille Claudel,” the 1988 film on the late-nineteenth century sculptor, featuring Isabelle Adjani and Gerard Depardieu on Oct. 16.
“Frida,” the 2002 story of the life of Frida Kahlo featuring Salma Hayek and Alfred Molina will conclude the series on Oct. 23.
Next week we'll take a more in-depth look at the films in the series.
Tickets for each film are $7 for CAC members and $10 for non-members and will be available at the Art Center on the nights of the screenings. Special passes for all three films — $18 for CAC members, $27 for nonmembers — will be available for purchase only on Oct. 9. For information, call 423-1440.
The Elaine Parks conversation and exhibition and the “Lives of the Artists” film series are sponsored, in part, by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support for the conversation has also been provided by Nevada Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities,

The conversation will be followed by a reception for the artist from 5-7 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public.
