Meet Gayathiri, The Concord local, self-made art teacher and artist who brought us our first Student Art Exhibition, Thoorigai in our Greenway Gallery (lower level) this past Spring, 2022!

— FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC —

She will talk about starting to teach at home, offering art classes for local children as a way out of her own pain; then discovering the joy and ways in which it has enriched her life, as she and her husband raise their own child. Her organization, Art and Stash takes students throughout the year.

BE SURE TO COME TO THE GREENWAY GALLERY DOUBLE-DOORS at the END OF THE OPERATIONS BUILDING (Double-Doors facing Kerr Street). Free Parking in the lots along Crowell Drive NW; walk over!

Gayathiri is a member of Namaste Artists Charlotte, a local affiliation of artists who hail from various parts of India, and who co-produce Indian Art Festivals in Charlotte, Matthews and Harrisburg a few times a year. Through Gayathiri, we and the City of Concord connected with Namaste Artists Group and were able to add their perspective and input to the City’s ongoing Master Plan process for a Public Art Master Plan.

We look forward to welcoming you and to hearing her share her experience, Monday 9/12, before saying goodbye to the lovely Thoorigai Student Exhibit, which has elicited many admiring comments from visitors since its installation in April. Our hats are off to Gayathiri and her budding artist students!
