Exhibit Dates: January 13 – February 14, 2016 • Opening Reception: Sunday, January 17, 2016 Time: 2 – 4 p.m.
We invite you to join us for our first exhibition of 2016, Take Aways: Art to Go! Curators: Jane Gregorius, Judy Cooper, Sandra Haven, and Susanna Waddell. Closing reception on Sunday, February 14, from 2-4pm.
This invitational annual exhibit features sixty-five of the county’s most notable artists. As a fundraising event these artists are presenting works that fit into many budgets. In this wildly popular show everyone benefits; you take home fabulous art the day of your purchase, the artists and PVAC get their normal commissions, and new art comes into the gallery everyday!
The artists are well known from numerous exhibitions and teaching experiences in Santa Cruz County and beyond. Others are known from Open Studios, and all artists bring years of expertise and practice in their submissions. The pieces of art include sculptures, encaustic (wax), painting, printing, photography, and glasswork, almost any medium possible. Diversity is one of many descriptions that fit this remarkable exhibition.
Artists include Jamie Abbott, Peter Vizzusi, Claire Lerner, Mary Jo Dunn-Ruiz, Diane Ritch, Angela Gleason and many others. Visitors are encouraged to visit and “Take Away” some beautiful art. In addition, several donated pieces will be part of a raffle drawing during the closing reception on February 14, 2-4 pm.
