Member News- Closing Reception Colleen Kelly

Cathy Akers, Time Doyle, Colleen Kelly, Alison Kuo, Jane Szabo and Carrie Yury encourage new dialogue about the sharedhuman struggle with identity through widely varing works of art. Revelations from self-examination, studies in social anthropology, astute observations about prejudice and outright rebellion against established morals; each artist emboldens the viewer to scratch below the surface to reveal a web of human complexity

Leslie Plimpton is exhibiting two pieces in the juried Ventura Artists Union show, “There is Me.”

once upon a time
 / oh best beloved / there is me

A friend once told me art is not a hobby, a luxury, it is a necessity for our very well being. It is who we are.

This is an exhibit that looks at the personal necessary element of art and how it intersects with the self. 

The show is from July 30 through August 28th so this is the last week to catch the show. It is being presented at 643 A Project Space, 

located at 643 N. Ventura Avenue, Ventura, CA.  Please come down this weekend to see some amazing art.
