Exhibit Dates: January 10 – February 2, 2020
Opening Reception: Friday, January 10 from 7-9pm
Join us at Del Ray Artisans gallery for Tangerine, an art exhibit exploring the color and all it represents. Tangerine is a saturated, bold orange hue that describes the exterior of the delicious fruit! Like most other orange hues, tangerine is associated with energy, youth, and happiness. It has also been the love interest in popular songs, and is said to stimulate the joyful energy of the inner child. This juried exhibit features art from local area artists and is guaranteed to bring warmth and brightness to the wintry days of January. Brighten up your grey January by joining us in this imaginative interpretation of tangerine. Meet the artists at the opening reception on Friday, January 10 from 7-9pm. Exhibit runs January 10-February 2, 2020.
The juror is Jane Hartman, a most imaginative artist who uses her science background to create both fanciful and realistic “creatures” in glass including insects, fish, trilobites and protozoa, to name a few. See Jane’s unique artwork at trilobiteglassworks.weebly.com
Also, stay tuned for special January workshops: Introduction to Bookmaking on January 11 with instructor Stacy Rausch; Freaky Batiky Fused Glass Bowls on January 18 & 25 with instructor Betsy Mead; and Hand Carving Rubber Stamps on January 25 with instructor Stacy Rausch.
