Galesburg Civic Art Center Announces Featured Artist
The Galesburg Civic Art Center's retail store One12 will feature the work of local potter Christine Dokolasa in the month of February. Mrs. Dokolasa will be present at One12 on Friday, February 5th from 6-8pm to showcase her work and answer questions. The Art Center will also be hosting an opening reception for Tom Foley's "Helena and Hopson" exhibition at that time.

Christine Dokolasa is a Galesburg native who has found a love for creating beautiful platters and bowls with clay. She has taught for the Galesburg school district since 1979 and has inspired a love of art in many of her students. Of working with clay, Christine says: "I love working with clay. It is such a versatile media. Not only does it allow me to work with three-dimensional form, but I can also attend to the clay surface in many different ways. Forms can be functional or sculptural, hollow or solid, large or small, organic or geometric. The surface can be textured, smooth, glazed, painted, drawn on or left untreated. The clay can be thrown, sculpted, molded, welded, pushed, pulled, cast, rolled, pinched, pressed or squeezed. My possibilities are endless."

One12 and The Galesburg Civic Art Center are open Tuesdays through Fridays, 10:30 am - 4:30 pm and Saturdays, 10:30 am - 3:00 pm. For more information, please contact the Galesburg Civic Art Center at 114 E. Main St., Galesburg, IL 61401, (309) 342-7415 or e-mail info@galesburgarts.org.
