Acclaimed Artist Robert Freeman Presents Etching Workshop at ArtBeat on Main Street – Current Exhibition Features His Works

ArtBeat on Main Street’s featured artist of the month, the acclaimed Robert Freeman, presents a three-day etching workshop at the Gallery located at 330 Main Street in downtown Vista. The three four-hour sessions take place on May 27, 28, and 29. The $275 cost covers all supplies. Reservations can be made at info@artbeatonmainstreet.com or 760-295-3118.
Freeman works in a array of mediums, including pencil, pen, ink, acrylic, mixed
media oils, and wood, stone and bronze sculpture. His public art, much of which
reflects his Native American roots, is on display at Cal State San Marcos, Los
Angeles County Library and in an iconic bronze State of California Commemorative
Seal embedded on the steps of the Capitol building in Sacramento.
Freeman, a master artist and print-maker,
demonstrated the age-old technique that was a favorite medium of such artists
as Rembrandt, Picasso and Dali, at a reception on April 20th kicking
off his featured exhibition, on view at the Gallery through May 12th.
Enlivening the event was the Native American band Cloud Feather, led by Vista
Village Business Association President Mario Carrillo.
Dozens of guests were entranced by Freeman’s etching and
print-making demonstration, and by his many evocative works of art; from sepia
to vivid color. Tami Sutter, owner of
Grapes Wine Bar & Café, and her husband, Jon, provided tastings of wines
that will soon be part of the ArtBeat experience. “I’m looking forward to a
great collaboration,” said Sutter, explaining that not only is she partnering
with co-owners Kait Matthews and Kris Petersen in this new on-site café scheduled
to open soon, but that, as an artist, she also exhibits at the Gallery.
The reception attracted a wide audience, including artist
Juanita Ayson of Escondido. “This is my first taste of ArtBeat,” Ayson
revealed. While trying on a hand-crafted scarf, she said, “I knew as soon as I
walked in that this gallery is not just about one type of art, but the
diversity of creativity; and not just about art, but about community. It’s a
lovely place to come and spend some time.”
ArtBeat on Main Street is located at 330
Main Street in downtown Vista. It is open Tuesday-Friday, 11:00 am-6:00 pm;
Saturday, 9:30 am-8:00 pm; Sunday, 9:30 am-4:00 pm. For information, visit www.artbeatonmainstreet.com, www.facebook.com/artbeatonmainstreet
