If you can't make the reception, be sure to stop by during the month of February and view this always exciting and innovative exhibit. Expect a varied palette here. Art ranges from traditional floral watercolors to thought-provoking conceptual pieces. Area artisans show off pottery, stained glass, and meticulously handcarved and painted waterfowl. Artists working in three-dimensional formats showcase wire, bronze, wood, and iron sculpture.
Jewelers present sterling silver metalworks.
Shadow boxes filled with found objects intrigue us, and party dresses and hats become wall art or part of three-dimensional paintings. Photography entries have ranged from the breathtaking aerial overview that shows the fragility of our barrier islands to a crazy nude coupled with collage items. The printmaker has a heyday with etchings, woodcuts, collagraphs, and seriographs from the totally abstract to the representational. In other words, anything goes. This is the best venue to see what area artists have been producing of late.
