The Washington Theatre at Patterson Park Community Center will host Colorful Creations Within the Soul, a collection of art by Diane J. Stockard, through Aug. 29.
Stockard is a self-taught artist, art business owner, photographer, writer and realtor. She has won several art awards and community leadership awards including placing third in an international art competition. She is known for her bright colors and music-themed art.
“God gives us all special gifts, we just have to reach in our soul to find that gift that he gave only to us,” Stockard says.
It has been her mission to bring the cultural community together in art and music. She is an advocate in supporting the community through the Rutherford Arts Alliance, teaching art classes to low-income families and working with other city groups to help promote all artists to a different level.
The gallery space is an interdepartmental partnership between The City of Murfreesboro’s Patterson Park Community Center and The Washington Theatre.
The Washington Theatre is an accessible performance and event space in Patterson Park Community Center. Home to Perform Murfreesboro, a professional youth theater education program, The Washington Theatre facilitates community arts programming, theater education and rental space for private and public productions.
