Artist Talk for "Portals & Sanctuaries" Suzanne Lago Arthur Solo Show at TAG/The Artists Gallery

TAG/The Artists Gallery in Frederick, MD, is pleased to present “Portals and Sanctuaries” an exhibition of landscape, still life and interior paintings by artist, podcaster,and LAC member Suzanne Lago Arthur. On view May 1–31, 2026. GALLERY HOURS: Fri - Sat 12-8 pm, Sun 12-4 pm. Suzanne Lago Arthur is a Loudoun Co. painter, born in Puerto Rico to Cuban-American parents and the host/creator of The Creative Contemplation Podcast, with 15k downloads and listeners from over 81 countries. Her solo show is inspired primarily by her travels to Spain and Japan (defined as “Portals”) and the domestic interiors of her life and still lifes (“Sanctuaries”), the latter painted mostly from direct observation which she considers a meditative practice. Many of the paintings have been painted in a limited palette which adds to the atmosphere of her work. Lago Arthur is an artist who thinks deeply about the nature of perception, liminal spaces and the feeling of place. These profound themes are conveyed in her beautifully rendered oil paintings.

God of Carnage with CRAFT Theatre Co.

A comedy of manners ... without the manners. The Tony-Award winning dramedy, written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton, takes the stage at Faith Chapel in Lucketts, VA. A playground altercation between two boys brings two sets of parents together for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses ... and the rum flows ... tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters. "[A] streamlined anatomy of the human animal...delivers the cathartic release of watching other people's marriages go boom. A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment." -The New York Times "Reza has established herself as a master [of] magnificently constructed plays." -Entertainment Weekly
