A reception for the artists whose works are currently on display at Cedars of Lebanon restaurant is scheduled for Sunday, November 17, from 3 to 5 p.m. This exhibit is the second in the continuing series of art shows provided by Cornucopia Arts. This exhibit includes 29 art objects representing a broad variety of styles and mediums by 10 area artists, one from Beltsville, three from Laurel and six from Greenbelt. All of the artists will be present at the reception and available to discuss their works of art. The works will also be available for sale. Cornucopia Arts is self-described as a loose confederation of unaffiliated and very independent artists, many of whom are residents of Greenbelt. The free-spirited nature of Cornucopia’s band of artists combines with a high level of enthusiasm and passion for coming together for the advancement of the arts. Normally an exhibit can be assembled in about a month with not much more than a phone call to each artist, art work selection by the coordinator, and delivery and hanging at the exhibit site. Cornucopia’s artist family could be likened to the minutemen of 1775 except that they are minute men and ladies armed with paintings, etc. Cornucopia Arts is not a formal organization with fees, dues and meetings. The coordinator has two basic rules. 1. Cooperation with reasonable requests: i.e. choosing show entries, helping out with hanging if possible and support for the event. People want to meet the artists. 2. Art Quality: Cornucopia maintains a higher level of art accomplishment. But don’t let that stop you from asking. Let the coordinator decide if your art will fit the show’s standard. The coordinator has disqualified some of his own works for not being good enough to show.
