Get to know artists and their works as they compete in a brain busting quiz game, shake their money-makers as they dance with the stars, and finally, spend some quality time chatting with the lovely hosts who just happen to be members of SMoCA’s Artist Advisory Committee.”

There are great history lessons contained with in the biography of an artist and the work that he or she produces. The first major 
exhibit of the works of the Armenian born Painter Arshile Gorky will be at the Grand Opening Cafesjian Center for the Arts from Nov. 8th to January 31 2010.
“The stuff of thought is the seed of the artist. Dreams from the bristles of the artists brush. As the eye functions as the brain’s sentry, I communicate my innermost perceptions through the art, my worldview.” – Arshile Gorky – “Abstract Expressionism”, by Barbara Hess
Gorky and his family fled the Armenian Genocide in 1915 when he was thought to be about 10 years old and eventually was able to migrate to the United States in 1920. His paintings tell me a lot about his life, what he he knew and what he wanted to find out his own life.
