Happy Thanksgiving! Please save and print these coloring pages for your little artists to enjoy!
Roy Lichtenstein's "Turkey" is a captivating example of how everyday images can become iconic in the realm of Pop Art. The fact that his canvas bag reproductions now command a substantial value reflects the lasting impact and collectibility of his work.
Since Thanksgiving is coming up, we thought it might be fun to share some famous art associated with the holiday.
🦃 Norman Rockwell's prolific career left a lasting impact, with his Four Freedom series, especially "Freedom from Want," capturing a timeless portrayal of American ideals, notably associated with Thanksgiving
🇺🇸 The image is part of his Four Freedoms series inspired by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 speech. The painting reflects a sense of unity and prosperity during challenging times.
🖼️ Norman Rockwell was known for using friends, family, and neighbors from Arlington, Vermont, as models for his paintings. He photographed them individually in his studio, later incorporating them into his compositions.
What better way to usher in than the holiday season that with a Cabaret event. The Johnson for the Arts’ Cabaret was deemed a roaring success with a served dinner and a live performance. Andrea Pack, JCA director said local businesses and individual generously sponsored tables and brought their fr...

Our Cabaret event has got people talking about the dress code, which we listed as cocktail/1920s glam. But listen, just come dressed up a little nice in your Sunday best. You don't need to get something special. If you don't have a sequined dress, just put on one you've got and add a string of pearls and a headband! If you are a gentleman, find a nice shirt and a jacket. One of our lovely patrons sent me this photo today of a dress that she would like to sell. (Message if interested, it's a size 14). Be creative or come as you are! Don't stress over the dress.

One of the best things about living in a community like Troy is the people. So many work tirelessly behind the scenes to make an art show like this come together! Thank you to our local educators, council members, and more that pour into our children! Troy Bank & Trust is a locally run business who prioritizes the importance of arts in the lives of our community children and makes this show possible every year.
We will be shining a well-deserved spotlight on some of the winners of our Mini Art Competition over the next week. Enjoy!
We are very proud of all the young artists who created art and then shared it with the world! Great job!
