July Exhibition at ART ON FIRST: Inner Landscape Paintings - Martina Goldberg

Monday, June 30 - Monday, July 28, 11:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, July 4, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are inner landscape paintings by Martina Goldberg. Working mainly with acrylics, Martina captures visual aspects of landscapes in Mexico combined with a Northern European spirit, taking her expression beyond the limits of her viewers’ eyes. Using just a few visual elements and a limited palette, Martina’s paintings are often dramatically contrasted but also subtly blended, which is her way of interpreting the essence and mood of her compositions, always aiming to evoke in her viewers an inner landscape. She wants her viewers to feel the landscapes, not just see them.

We noticed that a lot of places in Ashland do something cool for First Friday. So, sure, we'll be followers this time.

We're calling it First Friday Flights! Or maybe we're calling it the Empanada Throwdown!

Either way, it's a music, food, and wine event that you should definitely join! Here's the deal:

Freshly made local empanadas from Caba Empanadas
Lovely fall wines from Resistance Wine Co (that's us!)

You could pretty much hang out all day if you want. But if you just want to pop in for a few empanadas/pours, you could have plenty of time left to visit all the other galleries.

Also, we have some art so you don't just have to look at that weird friend you invited... But, still, bring your friends.

$20.00 Wine tastings + whatever an empanada cost in 2025.

Take time to nurture your creativity. In this four-session series, we will explore ways to use writing for self-expression, create short pieces of writing based on weekly themes, and incorporate other types of artistic practices into our writing.

No writing experience is necessary - just an interest in being creative in a fun, supportive environment!

Tuesdays, May 13 and 27; June 3 and 10, 2025

5:30 - 7:30 p.m.

1677 Old Stage Road

Cost: $100. Limited scholarships available. If you are unable to attend a session, I will send you the materials and we can schedule a time to meet online to go through the writing and art practices.

To register, contact Michelle St. Romain Wilson, michelle.st.romain.wilson@gmail.com.

Join us for this longstanding program! We'll gather on the first Tuesday of every month to watch movies, make crafts, play games, build community, and share favorite books, movies, podcasts, and more. LGBTQ+ folks and allies are all welcome!
