Kent County Arts and Entertainment Events- December 2020

Marc Castelli | Shouting at the Wind
November 2 - December 31, 2020

New work by Gallery Artists and special guests.

This Fall we have been featuring the work of Marcy Dunn Ramsey and Marc Castelli in their annual one-person exhibitions. But our other gallery artists have been actively creating new work for our 2021 schedule. We thought we would give you a sneak-peek of the work of a few of our favorites and encourage you to give yourselves the gift of art for the holidays. All work featured will be available in the gallery for private preview and ready for you to take home.

Like the recent, successful edition of “Short Attention Span Theatre,” which reimagined the yearly live short play festival as an online presentation, The Garfield Center’s “(Stay) Home for the Holidays!” will be a family-friendly video program to enjoy during the holiday season. Consistent with adjustments that the pandemic has brought to all performers and organizations, “(Stay) Home for the Holidays!” participants contributed their efforts from their own socially distanced locations.

Chestertown’s Arts & Entertainment District hosts a Seasonal Art Walk, a mapped tour of 10 galleries and studios plus three pop-up sites. Pick up the map at participating venues: Robert Ortiz Studios, CREATE, The Blueberry Pie and Art Society, Linda Roy Walls Photographs, Les Poissons Gallery, Tish Fine Art Plus, Hegland Glass, The Artists’ Gallery, Diane Rappisi Fine Art, and pop-up sites The Kitchen at the Imperial (Mary Pritchard) , The Finishing Touch (Mike Pugh), and Figg's Ordinary (S. Edward Moore). Masks and effective social distancing will be enforced.

Stretch, relax, and focus your body and mind. In this busy holiday season (in the midst of a pandemic), join us for a gentle restorative yoga practice that will calm your mind & invigorate your creativity. Join local favorite yoga instructor John Macleod for this 45 minute class. John has legions of devoted students in both Chestertown & Florida -- you won't want to miss this!

Be ready with a quiet space to stretch out, a yoga mat or towel, and yoga blocks or a small pillow.

Class will meet via Zoom.

Make a fun and creative vision board that will help you keep your hopes, dreams, and desires front and center as you begin 2021. We’ll talk about the importance of visualization and how to bring clarity and consciousness to your specific goals for the new year. Get motivated & make specific steps for real progress and action! Gather your supplies & join us as we craft our own personal visions for the new year!
