First Encounter - An Exhibition of Small Works - With Children In Mind
November 30 - December 23, 2006
Artist Reception: Thursday, November 30, 6-8 pm
Kids Art Party: Saturday, December 9, 2-4 pm
Diane Farris Gallery is delighted to present First Encounter, a group show of artworks created or chosen for young children and the young at heart by gallery artists and guests.
We believe that those first, early encounters with the arts become life-long memories that prompt hobbies, careers, and new ways of seeing.
Children are especially welcome to attend this exhibit as it has been created with them in mind and will be hung at a lower level for their enjoyment. This fun, salon style show is comprised of a large number of pieces that are certain to lift your spirits and perhaps provide you with a first gift of art for a little one in your life!
On Saturday December 9, the Diane Farris Gallery will host a Kids Art Party where children are invited to create their own small masterpieces with materials we supply - including the terrific new Chihuly Art Kits. Please drop in between 2 and 4 pm for a delightful afternoon and take home the work of your very own prodigy.
Artists will be on hand to help!!! Cookies & Refreshments will be served!
Artists include: Alex Abdilla, Shannon Belkin, Roberta Bondar, David Burns, Gary Cody, Judith Currelly, Michael Dennis, John Dennison, Angela Grossmann, Amy-Claire Huestis, Kathryn Jacobi, Elzbieta Krawecka, Justin Ogilvie, Natty Saidi, Xue Mo, and special guests.
Plus - Dale Chihuly's new "Chihuly Art Kits" for kids!
COME BY AND BE MERRY WITH US!
