The Netherlands in the 17th century ranked among the most powerful and influential countries in Europe and the world, erupting with artists of such skill and inventiveness, they continue to enthrall to this day. We are very fortunate that the Timken collection contains Dutch and Flemish masterpieces from some of the world’s most renowned artists, including Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Anthony van Dyck. In today’s docent-led talk, we will examine the new genres of art introduced during a period in which the inhabitants of the Netherlands became consumers of art to fill their homes - they couldn’t get enough. Art for the first time became available in the open marketplace and there were plenty of buyers for the wonderful new landscapes, still life, portraits and genre scenes of their everyday lives. THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD ONLINE VIA ZOOM.

What is this…Artist’s Way? Maybe you had a friend who read through it years ago and made some significant breakthroughs. Or you’ve had the book on your bookshelf and promised yourself–this is the year I open it!–every year? Or you took a class long ago…but don’t remember much. Wherever you are at, this is for ANYONE who wants to live a more creative, intentional life. The Artist’s Way is for novices and working artists of all types, including writers, visual artists, actors, dancers, musicians…ANYONE who recognizes their innate creativity. In a supportive and safe setting, in this hour and a half Zoom class we will: • acquaint ourselves with the basics and tools of The Artist’s Way (by Julia Cameron) • work on activities meant to break through some of our creative blocks and give us better insight into creative work we might consider pursuing • If you’re able, bring a copy of The Artist’s Way (many available at the local libraries) and a journal or sketchbook. No previous arts experience required.
