Gallery Hours: Monday thru Friday, 1-6 pm; Saturday and Sunday 1-5 pm
Salmagundi Potpourri
Now through September 11
Upper Gallery
This exhibit will show a variety of high quality paintings, sculptures, graphics and photography. The focus of "Potpourri" is to display not only the wide range of artistic techniques, but also to spotlight each artist's own personal expressions and unique aesthetic vision. This is the annual non-juried show open to all artist members.
Portraits: Self, Family, Friends & Pets
Now through September 11
Lower Gallery
By limiting the identity of the "sitter" to animals, family members, friends, or the artists themselves, many of the pressures and constraints of professional portraiture are lifted, allowing the artist the freedom to work in a more relaxed and creative mood. The results can often be unique and delightful.
Audubon Artists Society, 67th Annual Juried National
September 14 - October 2
Upper and Lower Galleries
Audubon Artists, Inc. is an energetic group of artist professionals practicing in five disciplines (Aquamedia, Graphics/Drawings, Oils, Pastels, & Sculpture), with the motto "Believing in artistic progress since 1942." |
