The Chaffee Art Center, Your Center for Creativity, invites the community to our first
featured talk about famous artists with educator and artist, Sydelle Gansl, on Tuesday, Aug. 22, 6–7:30pm. This stimulating program is entitled, “The Gang at the Moulin Rouge.” As we discuss the fascinating life of Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, you will get to know him, as well as the culture and the people who entertained at the Moulin Rouge. We will also explore the 7 Elements of Art: Line, Shape, Space, Value, Form, Texture and Color. Light refreshments will be served. There is no charge to attend. A donation would be appreciated.
