Art of the Olympians Welcomes Olympian Skip Cutting - June 18
The Art of the Olympians (AOTO) Museum is offering a sneak peak of their newest exhibit featuring the works of Skip Cutting, a two-time US Olympic Team Racing Cyclist, teacher, cycling team coach, and artist.
Families, friends and community members are invited to attend a special reception, on Friday, June 18th from 5-8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the Skip Cutting Exhibit in the Cultural Experience Gallery at the Art of the Olympians Al Oerter Center for Excellence at 1300 Hendry St. Admission to the reception is free of charge.
Guests at the opening reception will have an opportunity to meet Skip Cutting, listen to his Olympic stories, view his exceptional paintings and be inspired. The Skip Cutting Exhibit will be on display until August 14, 2010.
Cutting has achieved many accomplishments in his sport career both as a member of the 1964 and 1968 Olympic Teams and as a member of the 1967 and 1971 Pan American Teams. As one of a small group of American 'pioneer' racing cyclists, he raced internationally in 26 countries with nearly 300 race finishes in the top three honors. In 1987, Cutting he won the world master's road race championships, and in 2002 was inducted into the U.S. Bicycle Racing Hall of Fame.
For more than 40 years, Cutting has painted, drawn in pen and ink, and sculpted to capture the passion and spirit of the Olympic experience. The Skip Cutting Exhibit highlights more than 30 multi-medium works by Cutting.
