Mar 30 - Aug 24, 2012Sculpture Exhibit An exhibit of works by sculptor Carlos Beltran Baldiveizo.
"I have always wanted to create. Since childhood, the processes of creation, whether through dance, painting, home movies, photography, textiles, Legos, or clay, have made me happy, energized me, and helped me to express myself. I have long believed art is my call in life, and have found ceramic sculpture to be my medium." "In college I studied architecture, art, art history, and graphic design. Upon graduation, I began a career as a graphic designer. Even while working, however, I knew I wanted to create on my own. I painted a bit but it was not until I found a ceramics studio that I knew I was home." "I love working with clay: I love its history (both mythical and real) and its amazing versatility. Clay, being so malleable and supple in your hands, can absorb any information given to it and, by its very nature, preserve itself for millennia." "I would like to share my current process for creating most of my pieces. I begin my figures with an idea in mind but I am ultimately led by the nature of the clay and my subconscious. In the end, a figure may be startlingly different from my original conception." Jan-Feb 2012Reston Weavers Show & Sale The Museum's first 2012 exhibit featuring Reston artists will show the work of five fiber artists: Lois Salazar, Luann Sievers, Anna Hayoz, Cynthia Hull and Alice Abrash.
The show demonstrates the variety and creativity of the art form as well as the superb techniques of these artists. It includes weavings, wearables, pins and tapestries as well as silk paper collages, floating silk hangings and a brilliant silk window disk.

Helen Vance’s designs draw from prehistoric art, geometry, mementos, and nature – particularly animals. She finds beautiful, rug-worthy subjects everywhere and notes that it can be hard to choose what to hook next. Jan-Feb 2011The first show of 2011 will feature pottery artist Hadrian Mendoza who works with a variety of styles, sizes and glazes. 
"Pottery is a craft that relies on the environment as a source of inspiration and resources; the materials for glaze and clay comes from the earth, as does the fire, wind, and water used to form, dry, and fire a pot." Also on display is the work of painter Nancy Novick’s small “postcards.”
