Currently featured at ART on FIRST are mosaics by Suzanne Hatch and Joi Tripp. Suzanne creates mosaic artwork using glass, metal, ceramics, and semi-precious stones to form intricate designs. For many of her pieces, she builds a three dimensional substrate that begins with chicken wire, plaster, and mortar. Alternatively, Joi brings the timeless art of micro-mosaics to life. She cuts and files tiny glass rods into pieces averaging 2mm x 2mm. These small pieces are then placed into an epoxy adhesive bed that is permanent.

Get a taste of the "old West" and Jacksonville's gold mining days when you step behind the counter of the oldest financial institution in the Pacific Northwest that began as a gold dust office in 1856. The Beekman Bank Museum saw over $40 million in gold cross its counters during the town’s heyday in the late 1800s—the equivalent of over $1 billion today. Interact with costumed docents sharing stories of late 19th Century banking practices, gold shipping, and handshake deals; step behind the counter and peer in drawers containing old checks, stage schedules, and paperwork; enter the vault that stored all those millions in gold! Allow 30 minutes.

ART in ACTION with Suzie Gregg at ART on FIRST
Thursday, August 21, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Join ART on FIRST and Suzie Gregg for ART in ACTION, an opportunity to meet, experience, and interact with Suzie while she provides a live demonstration of her beading mosaics. Suzie meticulously hand places small glass beads and crystals, creating a painterly effect that brings out shadows, textures, and intricate details in her bead mosaic compositions. Her fusion of this technique with mixed media breathes new life and depth into her artwork, and she finds inspiration in the wonders of the natural world, seeing divine beauty that fuels her own artistic expression.
