2009 FOTM Documented Artist Tesi Sanchez stands in front of her image and work featured in the Focus on the Masters Anniversary Timeline.
On November 3 from 2 to 5 pm, the public is invited to take a journey inside Focus on the Masters art’s archive Library’s 30-year history. Through historic photographs, participants will experience highlights from the inspiring artists FOTM has documented along with unique events FOTM has produced and seminal exhibitions that helped to shape our cultural community. The timeline will be on display for one day only. Some might wonder why the FOTM saves paintbrushes, caps, journals with handwritten entries, announcement cards, historic photographs, tee shirts, newspaper articles, envelopes, and paper napkins. Each object stored away in our 40+ fire-resistant filing cabinets tells a story. A story of dedication and inspiration. A story of remembrance and a vision of the future. A true story of the arts and the artists who help us interpret the world around us.
While sipping wine and sampling hors d’oeuvres, while chatting with old friends and making new friends, we can walk the Focus on the Masters timeline. We will find out where we’ve been and lay the groundwork for our future. Focus is 30 years old and like any other thirty-something, Focus is at an inflection point. Where do we go from here? We want to share our ideas for the future with the community. Together we have built an amazing legacy, and together we will continue to capture history. RSVP www.FocusontheMasters.com. Vita Art Center is located at 28 W Main St.
