Come See an Artist Carving 400-pound Blocks of Marble

At the Lux Art Institute at 1550 South El Camino Real in Encinitas, art is interactive. Not only can visitors see an exhibit of the current artist’s works, but they can also see the artist creating the art.

The Lux Institute is a contemporary art venue in North San Diego county where people can see “art happen.” The Artist in Residence series focuses on the living artist and the creative process.

The first artist in residence this year is Elizabeth Turk, a native Southern Californian, who brings a new vision to the art of stone carving. Using a chisel, she transforms 400-pound blocks of marble into fantastic and improbable shapes such as collars, pinwheels, and ribbons. While in residence, Turk will be working on a sculpture for her “Collars” series.

Don’t miss Elizabeth Turk at the Lux Institute!
