Opening Reception of "Cross-Polinate: Works on Paper" Opening Reception
Thursday, July 11 from 6-8pm with patron/member preview at 5:30pm
Works on paper are often immediate, intimate, personal expressions with more emphasis on process than product. Because of the often spontaneous nature of drawings and works on paper, this is an opportunity to view more intimately the inner nature of each presenter.
Curator Marcia Weese (printmaker) brings together 8 other professionals including Gordon Baym (theoretical physicist), Olivia Emery (architect), Jody Guralnick (painter), Sam Harvey (ceramicist), Charmaine Locke (sculptor/painter), Julia Marshall (landscape architect), James Surls (sculptor), and Brad Ziegel (architect).
Cross Pollinate" is generously supported by DHM Design.
