Grab your spot now and register at <a href="https://underwaterkite.art/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">underwaterkite.art.</a> The current, inaugural exhibition, “Tar &amp; Feathers”, featuring over 100 artworks by 78 artists, is full of deft humor, emotional depth, vibrant intellect, skillful craft and surprising moments and will make a perfect backdrop for learning and honing art skills.MORE&nbsp;INFO: In the first workshop series, students will explore portraiture in any medium of their choice with a different live model each week. Open to beginner through advanced, individual instruction will be offered on all levels with the focus on capturing likeness and expression, as well as proper use of color, light, and attention to form. An optional time of critique will be offered after the workshop with the opportunity to share artwork and receive feedback. 
Grace Storm, the instructor, is an artist from Eastern CT. Having spent years studying expressive portraiture in various mediums, including oil pastels, acrylics, her absolute favorite is watercolor. She says, “I have a love for bold colors and loose mark making. My teaching style is highly personalized, which means I will meet you where you are, whether you are working on the fundamentals, finding your style, or want to push yourself to a higher level of technical ability. I focus on giving actionable feedback that is simple and constructive. “
Underwater Kite Info:
Underwater Kite is not your average Connecticut gallery. In fact, it's not average anywhere. Unique and in a class all its own, UWK is the brainchild of artist and curator, Antony Zito working in partnership with Hartford’s “Artists in Real Time”, the nonprofit organization run by Cynthia Bulaong. Zito’s vibrant, diverse curatorial style brings a decidedly urban and edgy lilt to Windsor.

Join conductor Gabriel Löfvall for 'From Roots to Promise: Singing America at 250,' a powerful choral performance featuring Cecilia McDowall's 'Everyday Wonders' and Carol Barnett's bluegrass mass, 'The World Beloved.' This diverse program will be accompanied by fiddle, mandolin, banjo, guitar, and bass, with tickets available for $35 or $30 for students and seniors. Tickets available on website.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://litchfieldcountychoralunion.com/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">PURCHASE TICKETS HERE!</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;This unusual programming highlights the irony of a Syrian/Kurdish handicapped woman being able to receive asylum from war torn Aleppo in, of all places, Germany, while we, in the United States, under the present Administration have asylum bans on such countries as Syria and Haiti! We make hauntingly beautiful music as prayer for the time we can, once again be that country of Promise; a Land of Milk and Honey; Opportunity; Safe Harbor.&nbsp;&nbsp;"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" from Emma Lazarus' poem "The New Colossus" on the base of the Statue of Liberty.&nbsp;

<ul><li>Only the 2nd Performance of "Everyday Wonders" </li><li>Bluegrass Mass is a unique blend of Americana and the English/Irish Immigrant influence</li></ul>
