The Blue Devils' Art Department has been busy this spring preparing for the Student Art Show and working hard on a community service project.
Not too long ago, Lisa Sharpe, Gwinnett County Recreation Program Supervisor, contacted the Norcross High School Art Department to ask them to help with a new county project. “We were preparing some corn hole games for special events throughout the county and also for a Corn Hole for Fun event coming up on April 28th," said Sharpe. "When we asked Martha Cook, the department head, if some students could paint the games they were all too willing to help out." The five corn hole games were painted by the Norcross High School La Voz Art Club and the National Art Honor Society. "We are extremely proud of the work our students have done on this community service project," said Cook. "They put in a lot of hours and worked very hard.” Students …

The official grand opening will be marked with festivities this evening.
Two local artists have been putting love and sweat into their gallery space at 27 S. Peachtree St. in Historic Norcross for months, building out the interior with their own own hands.

Vargas and Harbin Studio to open to the public in the next month.
Charles Harbin and Reinaldo Vargas couldn’t have more different backgrounds. Harbin worked in technology and recently came back to his true passion of photography. Vargas grew up a painter in Communist Cuba, then fled for France and the U.S. One makes haunting landscape photography, the other passionate and imaginative paintings. But both inspired artists, who will soon have side-by-side studios at a new gallery at 27 S. Peachtree St., have a wonderful banter and balance. “We surprise each other,” said Harbin. “We have good symmetry.” Harbin said he got his first darkroom equipment when he was 12, probably his first camera at 10 or 11. “I annoyed people in the camera shop when I was growing up,” he laughed. He said he never had enough …

From the Mona Lisa to Rembrandt, local artists pay homage to the classics.
Kudzu Art Zone opened its latest exhibit, "Inspired by the Masters," last week. Local artists borrowed a page from some of the most famous artists to ever live--adding their own unique flair. "I do think that (my favorite thing about this opening reception) is probably the variety of the artwork. The color, the style the different masters that they chose to embellish their own work," said Kudzu member Gwen McDonald. Susan Faircloth, who also makes a crowd-pleasing olive and pepper dip opening reception-goers learned, came dressed as the painting that inspired her piece, "The Mona Lisa." Some people didn't recognize her at first because she normally sports reddish-blonde hair. Her other entry in the exhibit, "Matisse Piece," won an …
