SUMMARY:Concert Series: S.G. Goodman
DESCRIPTION:S.G. Goodman\, a Kentucky native\, delves into the complexities of love and its aftermath in her sophomore album\, Teeth Marks. Her debut album\, Old Time Feeling\, earned her praise as an “untamed rock n roll truth-teller” as she narrated her upbringing as the daughter of a crop farmer and a queer woman in a rural town. \nDrawing from personal experiences and observations\, Goodman explores the marks love leaves on individuals and communities. Teeth Marks\, co-produced in Athens\, Georgia\, by Drew Vandenberg\, sees Goodman evolving her sound with downtown Velvet Underground electricity while maintaining her searing\, universal perspective. \nInfluenced by artists like the Velvet Underground\, Pavement\, Karen Dalton\, and Chad VanGaalen\, Goodman’s album offers 11 powerful vignettes that venture into indie rock and punk territory. Through introspective lyrics\, Teeth Marks explores not only romantic relationships but also the impact of love on communities\, families\, and self\, delving into the psychological and physical imprints of love’s light and darkness. \n\n\nPhoto by BK Portraits. \n\n\n\n\nWEBSITE\n\n\n\nINSTAGRAM\n\n\n\nFACEBOOK\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2024-2025 Concert Series is supported by Saracen Casino Resort.

SUMMARY:Drop-in Figure Drawing
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself in a three-hour drawing session set in an untutored environment at the Windgate Art School. This dynamic experience will feature a variety of timed poses with draped and undraped models\, providing an excellent opportunity for first-time students and experienced artists alike to hone their skills. \nStudents must be 18+ to attend\, as the session may use the undraped model. An instructor will moderate the session and be available for critiques and questions upon request. \nStudents are encouraged to bring their own materials or purchase materials from the AMFA Museum Store. Recommended materials are graphite drawing pencils\, charcoals\, and a kneaded eraser. Basic drawing materials will also be available. \n\nPhoto: Iwan Baan. \nThe Windgate Art School is generously supported by the Windgate Foundation with additional support from Sherry Worthen in memory of George Worthen. \n
