Open Reception for "Joy of Painting" and "Beyond Imagination: The Contemporary Artwork of Jessica Dreyer"

Framations Art Gallery invites the public to join them for two new exhibits and to sample new wines from their wine sponsor, bakkheia at an Opening Reception on February 24 from 6-8pm.

In the Main Gallery, visitors will find "Joy of Painting", a group of watercolorists brought together by an instructor, Jean McMuller. The group started out as “students” but through time and their interest in  painting, have become friends. The students work range from beginners to advanced. A total of two dozen artists will share the space, just as they have shared the learning experience. 

In Gallery Two, the exhibit "Beyond Imagination: The Contemporary Artwork of Jessica Dreyer" will invite the viewer in to explore the abstract designs invented by Dreyer. In her Acrylic Abstracts, Dreyer often uses heavily textured and layered compositions. Her use of repetition, movement, and contrast inspire abstract designs that invite the viewer to both explore the textures close up and to step back and get the full impact of the piece. 

The Opening Reception on February 24 will be an opportunity to view both of these exhibits, as well as works by their resident artists as well. As always, Framations offers Opening Receptions that are free and open to the public. This reception will also feature wine provided by bakkheia, the wine sponsor for the event. You can find more information about bakkheia and where their products are available atwww.bakkheia.net.
