Gage Academy Advanced Drawing Seminar Exhibiting in June 2026

Gallery 110 member Kathy Roseth, along with the seminar members and instructor Geoff Flack, is bringing “The Finished Line: works on paper by the Gage Academy Advanced Drawing Seminar” to the gallery for the month of June.

“This exhibit celebrates drawing as a primal and powerful mode of human expression, in and of itself, unrelated to its usefulness in preparatory studies for paintings and sculptures. 

Drawing is immediate and personal in a way that eludes highly finished paintings, perhaps because the bare marks on the paper seem so close in time and space to the hand that made them and the mind that desired them.  Perhaps it’s because the black and white media of pencil and charcoal satisfy that primitive part of our brain that delights in seeing the world in shades of gray, as we did when we were infants.  For whatever reason, we stand in front of a well-made drawing and are amazed at how beautiful it is, for all its simplicity.

The thirteen members of Gage Academy’s Advanced Drawing Seminar have all gone through one or more of Gage’s formal atelier programs and are out in the world now making art.  The seminar is led by artist and master draftsman Geoff Flack, who created Gage’s Core Drawing Atelier and taught many of us most of what we know about drawing.   We meet weekly at Gage’s satellite campus in Georgetown to draw from the model, critique each other’s work, share information about art materials and techniques, tease each other, and grow in the group’s encouragement and support.”
