“For The Artist” Opening Reception

For The Artist Art Exhibit
March 1-31, 2019
Opening Reception: Friday, March 1 from 7-9pm

The For The Artist art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery features works that the artists have always wanted to create. Curators Jeff Lodge and Jenny Nicholson challenged Del Ray Artisans members to reach into that wish list and create the special piece they’ve dreamed of doing. Two and three-dimensional works, paintings, mixed media, and photography are on exhibit. The creativity and diversity of expression in this exhibit is inspiring to artists and art appreciators alike.

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, March 1 from 7-9pm and meet the curators and some of the artists.
