Photo Club of Beaufort dazzles with ‘White’ “White” Is it a color? The dictionary describes white as the color of light containing all of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum without absorption. For painters, since white cannot be created from other colors, most consider it the absence of color. Already we have a difference of opinion. White was also the first color used by pre-historic artists. Their drawings were created from chalk made from calcite and lime. Each year the Photography Club of Beaufort assigns members a year-long photo project. This year, in honor of those first artists, the subject chosen was WHITE. Members spent the past 11

lace. The possibilities were endless. Images were projected at the November meeting of the club and 40 images were chosen to be exhibited at the club’s annual December exhibit at the Beaufort Branch Library. Framed photos will be on display and offered for sale in the library’s second floor gallery from Dec. 7, 2012, to January 16, 2013. The public is invited to the free opening reception during the Night on the Town, Friday, Dec. 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit is open during library hours: Monday and Wednesday, 10 to 5; Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 1 to 5 p.m.; closed weekends.

Beaufort Art Association presents annual holiday show Ah, Christmas! That one word conjures up so many different things for different people: Celebration of the birth of Christ, old-fashioned songs, images of horses jingling away in the show, presents under the tree, etc. Yet all of the above have one thing in common and that is, of course, tradition. This is indeed the time of year when we hum the familiar songs, enjoy the glitter and shine of the stores and the streets, buy presents for family members and loved ones, and in doing all of those, we happily give in to the good feelings of tradition, the warmth and love of the season — something we all need and want.
One tradition the Beaufort Art Association is proud to present again this year is an all-member Holiday Show that will run from Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 to Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at the BAA Gallery, 913 Bay St. This exhibit will include work by well-known local artists whose work is otherwise not regularly available through the gallery.
If you want to give an authentic and enduring gift to that special someone, or just want to see some interesting, colorful and locally made artwork, please visit the Beaufort Art Association’s Gallery on Bay Street, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m.
