Columbia
Center for the Arts
This
is a month-long show that opens Friday, Aug. 4, at the Columbia Art Gallery
in Hood River. Curator for the show Jan Meyer says that anyone who appreciates
sophisticated art, and who is equally fascinated by literal and abstract
forms, would enjoy this show.
"This show is not about seeing. It's about rethinking how we see. It's about artists transcending the tangible forms of the objects that they depict. Both bodies of work are inspired by vessels: Ships of the ocean and containers of the soul."
Artist Reception: Public Invited!
| When: |
Friday, Aug. 4, 6 to 8 p.m. |
| Where: | Columbia
Art Gallery: Columbia Center for the Arts, 215 Cascade St., Hood River, OR |
