| Clay molds, still life models melt together in Cultural Center exhibit - Florida Times-Union Posted: Works by Jacksonville artists Ryan Ketterman and Stephen Heywood have been paired like two distinctly different yet fine wines for the next exhibition at the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach. "Structures in Reality: Art & Life Contained" melds Ketterman's photography with Heywood's fine art ceramics. The public is invited to meet the artists at the opening reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Ketterman's environmental photography uses time-lapsed methods and low lights. Jacksonville's waterways, piers, pilings and bridges provide the backdrop for many of his Florida landscapes. Ketterman's interpretation of these objects, such as the underbelly of a bridge, reveals an artist's perception. Heywood finds inspiration for his three-dimensional ceramic sculptures in anything mechanical, industrial or man-made. He molds clay into functional works while thinking in detail about function and form. Heywood uses strategically placed arrows and numbers as narrative and his objects stand out in their simplistic design and stylized characteristics. "Structures in Reality: Art & Life Contained" will be on display through April 8. The Cultural Center is at 50 Executive Way. Call 280-0614 or visit www.ccpvb.org.

| Cotton Tree: Year-Round Sketch Classes Draw Cultural Travelers - Yahoo Finance Posted: Press Release Source: Cotton Tree On Tuesday February 15, 2011, 10:00 am EST GEORGE TOWN, CAYMAN ISLANDS--(Marketwire - 02/15/11) - Experienced and beginning sketch artists will find artistic inspiration and the perfect way to relax at Cotton Tree, the Cayman Islands' first boutique cottage hotel, where on-site classes led by a local artist provide a picturesque instructional brush-up amid the beauty of Cotton Tree's lush gardens on the Caribbean Sea. Sketch classes at Cotton Tree include all materials and instruction from professional local artist John Broad, a West Bay artist born in England, educated at the Edinburgh College of Art, and a resident of Grand Cayman. Broad has held many successful shows and is perhaps best known for "Speed Painting," where he paints a scene on site. Under his expert guidance, sketchers will receive instruction in drawing skills and a demonstration of the artist's materials including pencils and water brushes. Classes are conducted at various points of interest throughout the property where the verdant gardens, jewel-toned Caribbean seas and the architectural details of the hotel's collection of pastel-hued Caribbean cottages serve to inspire and stir the creative senses. There is also the opportunity to practice Still Life drawing using objects found on Cotton Tree's natural beach and in the gardens. Self-critique and discussion, as well as suggestions for development and practice points conclude every session. Visiting sketchers are given their own sketchbook to take home as a keepsake of their experience and as a memento of their time at Cotton Tree. Sketch classes are two to four hours in length and cost US $85.00 per person, per hour. Classes are available year-round with the exception of September, and subject to instructor availability. All materials are provided.
Concierge services are also available to guests seeking to customize a personalized vacation, as are in-cottage catering and sommelier services, as well as wedding and business services. US rates start at $330.00 per night, excluding 10% in government tax. For more information about Cotton Tree or to make a reservation, visit www.caymancottontree.com. Follow Yahoo!
