The 2020 Art Event will feature Emily Little of Little E Studio.
The 16th annual Art Event at Lipscomb Academy will take place Fri., Feb. 28, from 5 to 9 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 29, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Sun., March 1, from 1 to 5 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public.
The 2020 featured artist is Emily Little, a self-taught mixed media artist of Little E Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Her bright and happy paintings feature pops of color, a medley of textures, unexpected palettes and joyful expression.
Little’s style developed as she experimented with different mediums and applications until she found her niche with acrylic paints and the palette knife. Her original work can now be found in fine art galleries and curated boutiques in Tennessee, Alabama and Florida, as well as at juried art shows. Her fresh palette and unique style have also been featured on home and gift decor nationwide.
A community affair
The Art Event is Lipscomb Academy’s major fundraiser that features more than 70 participating artists, with 30 percent of each art sale benefiting the school. Artists include established and new artists selected from nearly 130 applicants, as well as talented Lipscomb students.
In addition to the art show, there is a silent auction of pieces donated by participating artists, with proceeds from the auction going directly to the Fine Arts programs at Lipscomb Academy. Fine Arts is a key part of the student experience at Lipscomb Academy, and support from the Art Event ensures that our students will have the resources needed to hone their talents.
The MAC will be transformed into a beautiful venue displaying a wide range of media that include painting, jewelry and woodworking. An event of this magnitude requires 135 volunteers to run smoothly, and we need the help of the Lipscomb community. Moms, dads, grandparents and students are all welcome to volunteer.
