One of the 4 Pillars of the Chautauqua is the ever-popular Art Pillar, housed downstairs in the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood on Circle Drive. As usual, the Walton County Art League (WCAL) will be on hand to display their creations, such as paintings, drawings, decorated shells, and minis. Seated along the walls, 17 booths will represent various artisans, groups, and guilds. These folks will demonstrate their particular crafts and chat with visitors about the history and processes involved in their area of expertise. Many are excitedly planning hands-on experiences for visitors of all ages. At one end of the room, elementary-high school students will display a juried Art Deco Art Competition. And in another corner, we will honor our friend Russell “Atelier” Ferris, who passed away last summer. Russ, always a big fan of the Chautauqua Assemblies, was sure to arrive attired in his Monet outfit and ready to paint alongside the other Emerald Coast Plein Air Painters set up around the Lake Yard and throughout the Historic Downtown area. Their wet paintings, displayed on easels in front of the Chautauqua Hall of Brotherhood, will be for sale inside the building. Visitors will want to look for these Plein Air artists as they enjoy the Chautauqua experience.
You can visit art presentations on the following days and times:
Friday, April 14, 8am-6pm
