“Convergence: Two Groups, One Vision” is expressing a personal vocabulary through engaging art materials to its limit, said Ray Chen, Halcyon executive director. Both groups explore increasingly subjective forms of representation. They also share a vital sense of celebration and an eagerness for inspiration.
The February Saturday Artist Talk, scheduled 2 to 4 p.m. Feb. 14, will be on Piero della Francesca (1413-1492), the mystery man of western art, who paved the way for the likes of Leonardo and Michelangelo.
In addition, the third annual Halcyon Council on Education for the Arts is scheduled 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Feb. 21.
