The Arts Council is pleased to present, "The Color of Change," an exhibition by Catherine Tonning-Popowich. In this colorful and vivid exhibition, Popowich moves away from her popular nature and wildlife representations and explores new territory. She says, "As an artist, I have painted realism for most of my artistic life, but I always felt like something was missing. I wanted to push myself to explore new techniques and mediums."

You have built up your portfolio to include stunning pieces, but in your photos, they are showing up more like Paint-by-Number than Picasso. How do you photograph your art to truly reflect the quality? As the world becomes more digital, you need the promotions of your work to be conveyed digitally as well.
Learn from photographers Dane & Caitlin Vermeulen of Michigan Imagery how to perfectly capture your work.
Cost is $10 members / $15 non-members. See complete details and register to attend by clicking on the Facebook Event button below.
