Shows will rotate monthly, with artist receptions from 4-7 p.m. on the first Saturday of the month (Art Walk). Upcoming artists include Kashia Hill, Arvid Anderson, Mary McInnis, Anne Knapp, Pat Meras, Lynda Lindner, Kathy OBrien-Rywacki, Myrna Binion, Darlene Dihel, Marti Green, and Susan Paredes.

The Art Space @ Backbone opens with a reception from 4-7 p.m. Aug. 6. Free. 7108 Pioneer Way, Gig Harbor, 253-858-2474, www.peninsulaartleague.com, www.backbonerestored.com

featuring the Coastal Waters and Shorelines.

This show will run from June 4 – July 31, 2010.

An opening reception to meet the artist will be held on Friday, June 4th from 4 – 7 pm.

Carver’s emotional response to the coastal waters and shorelines is translated in rich colors that allow the viewer to respond to her creative process. Other viewers might feel transported to the serenity and energy that our coastal waters exude –

these experiences enrich our lives and lift our hearts, if only for, “a moment in time”.
