Last Saturday was the first exhibition opening of the 2007 summer season! The evening could not have been more successful: the weather was beautiful as several hundred people wandered through our gallery spaces enjoying the camaraderie and the art!Every exhibition opening has its own “feel”. This particular evening had great energy from the moment the first viewers entered the gallery. The audience was sophisticated, the mood was enthusiastic and the greater percentage of attendees spent time with the art as well as with each other!
Solo exhibitions by Dan Rizzie (North Gallery Space) and Sally Anderson (South Gallery) and Roni Stretch (West Space) proved a wonderful combination with which to open our season! The response to all the installations was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Dan’s works on paper received rave comments as his distinctive floral iconography set an optimistic tone. Sally’s multi-layered Mylar, acrylic and wax paintings drew viewers up-close, for an examination of her technique and then pushed them back for an appreciation of their visual impact. The Dichromatic paintings by Roni captivated viewers’ attention and held their interest for minutes at a time. What a perfect start to the summer!- B. (Barbi) Anne Reed
