Opening Reception: (APAA) 8th Exhibition & Sale
March 23 @ 10:30 am - 2:00 pm
The reception includes a pastel demonstration and awards ceremony, both of which are open to the public and free of charge.
A free demonstration by awards judge Allen Garns, begins at 11:00 AM on the 23rd. Garns is an award-winning Mesa artist. His works are inspired by the words of Walt Whitman who said, ”To me, every hour of the light and dark is a miracle, every cubic inch of space is a miracle.” Garns added that expressing and translating these miracles into paintings is one of the great continuing adventures of his life.
Paintings in the exhibition include works from eleven local artists plus over 65 artists from the United States and Europe, showing off pastel’s ability to create rich, saturated color and light. Collectors and enthusiasts will find unique concepts amidst a selection of figurative, landscape, still life and abstract works.
The Phippen Art Museum is located at 4701 Highway 89 North in Prescott. For more information please visit: apaa.wildapricot.org.
