Topic: You are invited to join us for a demonstration/talk by Walter Stanford, Fine Artist, Designer and Illustrator.
Walter is a 1986 graduate of East Carolina University where he earned a BFA from the School of Art with a major in illustration and a minor in printmaking. Over the course of his career, he has worked as a national freelance illustrator, advertising art director and screen print artist. He now brings all these experiences together to create dramatic wildlife portraits. He brings the subject in close where the viewer can get a sense of the animal’s personality. As Walter states, “I want to bring that animal into a person’s home!”
Walter's studio is in the ClearWater Arts Center and Studios in Concord and his works are represented by the Art Cellar Gallery in Banner Elk, NC.
No need to register.
This event is free and open to the public.

Plein Air with the CAG (FREE)
Calling all artists!
First timers welcome!
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the things you think you need, this is a very informal gathering, and your fellow artists are happy to help! Reach out to get on the mailing list for various events!
Has the idea or the fun of Plein Air ever fascinated you? Well first off, to explain, Plein air is a French term meaning, “denoting or in the manner of a 19th-century style of painting outdoors, or with a strong sense of the open air, that became a central feature of French impressionism.” Some famous Plein air painters were amongst the most impressive painters from history including Monet, Homer and Sargent.
Within the Cabarrus Art Guild, a group of Plein air painters have banded together to enjoy the lovely North Carolina Piedmont and surrounding sites via Plein air. They have named themselves, “Dusty Road Painters” and meet to explore the indoors (inclement weather) and outdoors that offer countless opportunities to express one’s artistic curiosity and passion.
Have questions or interested in joining this free group of adventurous artists? Reach out to Plein Air Chair, O’Lynda Walker at [email protected].
