Film & Talk: “Color – Light – Spirit: Studio Sam Feinstein”
May 16 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
McGinness Room
Join The Art Group (TAG) for the inaugural event of our quarterly “Film & Talk” program. Experience the vibrant world of the abstract painter Sam Feinstein through this compelling 40-minute documentary that reveals his artistic philosophy, dynamic teaching methods, and life-affirming approach to creativity.
By 1960, Sam Feinstein had established himself as an accomplished abstract painter, art educator, and critic before rejecting the commercial art world to pursue his art without the constraints of marketing. For nearly 50 years, he painted steadily while sharing his passion through small private classes, inviting students to see in transformative ways.
Special guest Patricia Stark Feinstein, Sam’s widow and curator of the Samuel L. Feinstein Trust, will present the film and engage in conversation with attendees afterward. She offers rich biographical insights into Sam’s personal and professional journey.
“We don’t paint flowers,” Sam would say, “we paint flowering.” Discover how Sam came to see art creation as a necessary, spiritual extension of nature’s own creative drive.
All are welcome, including youth interested in creativity.
