Who is excited for Pastimes’ second Virtual Student Art Showcase on Kunstmatrix Gallery?

With such a successful Inaugural Winter Student Showcase back in February 2021, we were thrilled to host a Summer Art Show!

On display this time are works in Oils, Acrylics, Watercolor, Oil Pastel, Chalk Pastel, Gray Colored Pencil, Pen & Ink, and Graphite by 23 students ages 8 – adult. Stunning drawing and paintings of people & animal portraits, sill life, florals, and architecture are mounted on virtual walls inside a chic warehouse-style gallery. Linda selected the gallery room design along with the jazzy music: Sweetie Cakes by Count Basie and his orchestra.

Enjoy selections from the show!

A Virtual Gallery Opening Party kicked off the show via Zoom on Sunday, July 18th from 5 PM – 6 PM (PST). Students from California and New York joined in to celebrate their artistic accomplishments. I enjoyed Zooming in from North Carolina!

It was such a pleasure to see many of the students together on Zoom, complimenting and admiring each other’s artwork.

The Zoom Chat Box served as a guest sign-in book. Students wrote these sweet comments below:
