THE FIVE SENSES OF OHR: A PARTY FOR YOUR SENSES

Come experience all of the senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—through the lens of local artists and artisans. Guests are encouraged to dress in the style of their favorite artist, think Andy Warhol, artwork, etc. from the Pop art movement.

The IP Casino Resort Spa will be an explosion of color and light on Friday, November 15th from 6 – 9 pm. Artists are in focus and your senses are a blur! The Pop art-themed party will feature twelve local artists, each working within decor and lighting that will be drenched in the color of their choosing. The artist’s work will be auctioned off at the end of the night, with part of the auction amount going to the artist directly and part going to support OOMA’s educational programs!  Entertainment by Sicily Swing.

Reserve your tickets today and let’s get those senses poppin’!

RED EDITION: CARMEN LUGO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carmen Lugo is a visual artist who works in mixed media, acrylic, and encaustic. A “mark maker” by nature, Carmen’s work often contains bold lines, scratched and obscured words, and a stream-of-consciousness style of painting. An appreciation of all things fleeting and discarded and her gravitation towards evocative color and imagery results in work that often contains themes on impermanence, nature, human nature, and emotion. She equates her process to an “emotional sieve,” sifting through impressions and imagery in the world around her, translating them to canvas.

Carmen currently teaches art classes to teens and children at the Mary C O’Keefe Cultural Center for Arts and Education and is a member of the South Mississippi Art League, Mississippi Art Colony, and Local Creatives. When not painting, Carmen enjoys collecting insects, rearing silk moths, hiking, and being alone in nature. She currently lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with her husband, Vincent, and her two cats, Lola and Penny Lane.
