Current & Upcoming Shows

September 2nd, 2009 by Melissa

The fall semester of my college studies has begun, and it’s busy here in the Arrant home. I’m glad to say that I was awarded a scholarship for my collegiate endeavors, I’m currently on display in two regional shows and I’ve just submitted for a third. On Tuesday I was interviewed by local NPR affiliate WKGC for a visual arts program hosted by Bay Arts Alliance’s Jennifer Jones. I expect that radio interview to air on Sept. 23rd on WKGC 90.7 FM.

The Takeout exhibit at the Brevart Art Museum I am exhibiting with was held over due to the turnout to the event. I currently don’t know how long the exhibit will last, so if you’re in the area call ahead to see if it’s still on display.

The second show I am a part of is the 9th Annual Regional Juried Art Exhibition in Ozark, Alabama’s Ann Rudd Center.

A Glimpse From Last Weekend’s Art Events

March 2nd, 2009 by Melissa

This weekend was a busy one, with three seperate art-related events in and around Panama City. The above picture was taken at the third and final event of the weekend, displaying my art for Gulf Beach Presbyterian Church’s Concert Series. The above photograph is with the featured pianist Joel Fan. Joel played several amazing pieces, as well as a Syrian piece from his new album that was marvelous.

At these events I debuted a new piece of artwork called “Stained Glass Butterfly”, as well as a mini-print of it which was quite popular.
