Art enthusiasts and the perpetually curious, take note. The Visual Art League of Lewisville is set to host an interactive session that might be the mental stimulation you didn't know you needed this month. On Jan. 18, from 3 to 5 p.m., The Grand at Lewisville will transform into a hub for creative exchange during "Conversations with Artists: What Were They Thinking?" as announced in the city of Lewisville.
This isn't your standard, stuffy art lecture—expect an open, inspiring dialogue as artists share insights into their work currently displayed in the "Absolutely Abstract" exhibition. Attendees can take a deep dive into the artists' motivations, the origins of their ideas, and, perhaps, uncover the meaning behind the eclectic materials used in their pieces. And there's the promise of light snacks—worth the trip all on its own.
A gem for cultural gatherings in the heart of Lewisville, The Grand is renowned for presenting a diverse range of performances and exhibitions. Music, theater, dance, and now the "Absolutely Abstract" exhibit, which will remain open to public visits until Feb. 7, ensure that the cultural calendar stays packed. The venue has received support in fostering these arts, courtesy of funding from the City of Lewisville grant program designed to bolster fine arts within the community.
Free from the clutches of artspeak elitism, this event is aimed at all, whether you're a seasoned VAL member or a curious passerby. The Grand, located at 100 N. Charles Street is accessible via a straight march east on Main Street from Interstate 35E – just make sure to allow extra time for parking due to the roadwork shuffle on the Main Street interchange with 35E.
