Donna Carver ~Curator and Artist

Donna Carver has Curated for the next 12 months a New Solo Art Gallery Space @ Backbone

in Gig Harbor Washington. It features only Pennisual Art Artists who are not in a Co op Gallery in Gig Harbor. The Grand Opening Show Featured Works of Fine Art by Pacific Coast Artist and Gig Harbor Resident Donna Carver.

The Grand Opening was held on August 6th, 2011 Featuring Donna Carver as the Solo Artist. It was well recieved and attended by the Community.

Dr. Christen Cohen is showcasing and hosting each Solo Artist event, which is held the first Sat. of each month. This opening is the Caboose of the Historic Downtown ArtWalk.

The Grand Opening featured Works of Fine Art, Wine and Cheese Pairings, and live Jazz music.

There’s a new art space opening in Gig Harbor – and for a change, it’s not a cooperative. Gig Harbor has many galleries operated by and showing the work of many artists, but The Art Space @ Backbone, opening this weekend at Backbone Restored chiropractic, will showcase solo work by members of the Peninsula Art League.

The gallery, created by former Chamber of Commerce president Dr. Christian Cohen at his chiropractic offices, will be curated by printmaker Donna Carver, who will also be the first artist to show in the space. 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
