PEACE & UNDERSTANDING FOCUS OF NEW PRICE CENTER ART SHOW
With great division in our county and the beginning of a busy holiday season of many diverse religions and cultures throughout our community and world, the Price Center’s Arts Committee is pleased to offer their newest show titled “Peace & Understanding.” The unique display features 64 works of original art by 41 area artists depicting images, symbols, and concepts of peace, understanding, serenity, cooperation, empathy and compassion.
Works on display range from traditional oil paintings and black & white and color photography to unique mixed media, mosaics, assemblage, found and fused glass, quilts, other fiber art and more. The show hangs throughout the facility until Jan. 4 and most works are available to purchase.
An Artists’ Reception will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 6-8 pm. Guests can meet the artists, enjoy complimentary hors d’oeuvres, wine, infused water, and the live piano music of local preacher, performer, and personality Sonshine. The event is free and open to all.
