Current: The Summer Invitational: A to Z Exhibition

On view June 22 to July 31

Reception on July 9 from 5:30 to 7 pm

The Summer Invitational Exhibition features 39 new works based on the letters in the standard English Alphabet. The 26 letters were intended to be the main focus of each individual work, either to represent the exact letter or an interpretation of its form.

The A to Z group offers works in a variety of art mediums and styles. It presents drawings, paintings, mixed-media and collages, as well as three-dimensional works ad an exceptional fabric piece.

This exhibition also includes a group of ceramic works and 9 photographs that include or suggest letters in their compositions.

The reception on July 9 celebrates the show and its artists. It is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
