2 FR I E N DS E V E NT S Join us for our 24th Annual Members Show, December 8, 9, 15, and 16, 2019 Info: soon to be announced, yellowbarnstudio.com Drop off Thursday, December 6, 4-7pm Dan Riesmeyer is this year s Member Show Judge. He earned his B.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art where he studied with Mark Karnes and his M.F.A. from the Henry Radford Hope School of Fine Art at Indiana University. Currently, Dan Riesmeyer resides in Maryland and teaches as an instructor at Montgomery College, Anne Arundel Community College and Maryland Institute College of Art. Daniel Riesmeyer will be teaching painting this spring at the Yellow Barn Studio. Fidelity to perception (both to my outer and inner worlds) is my chief concern. I can't help but draw from my own experiences but I want the initial impulses for each painting to be a starting point and not something that I simply illustrate. I think this is one of the most beautiful aspects of genuine artistic expression - a painting can come from a very personal interior space while saying something that transcends our limited scope. The Friends of the Yellow Barn will be sponsoring our Annual Friends of the Yellow Barn Studio Members Show. This juried exhibition is open to all members of the Friends of the Yellow Barn. A closing Awards Reception for the exhibition will be held on Sunday, December 16th from 4:00-6:00 pm. Our judge for this year s show is Daniel Riesmeyer. This year Plaza Artist Materials will sponsor the $500 Best of Show Award, $250 Mitzi Fuller Award, 3rd place awards of $100 and five $50 honorable mentions Reminder: To enter, drop off your entry December 6, 4-7pm.
