VIRTUAL TOUR OF STILL FRESH: THE ART OF FLOWERS EXHIBIT:
|
STILL FRESH - THE ART OF FLOWERS SHOW | May 9 - May 31
"Where flowers bloom so does hope.” – Lady Bird Johnson Springtime brings anticipation, joy...and flowers! What better way to honor Holly Alaimo for bringing us The Art of Flowers many years ago, than to continue this beloved tradition. Artists may submit ONE NEW piece in any medium, not previously shown at Featherstone. |
VIRTUAL TOUR OF SILVER LININGS EXHIBIT:
|
EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING | April 5 - May 2
The seemingly endless storm clouds hanging over us, often make it hard to find the silver lining, yet artists are resilient. Many of you discovered new themes for inspiration, found new voices and selected a different medium for creative expression. Through your work you share your unique vision for light, hope and love. We invite to share works of art that represent a silver lining as we anticipate brighter days on the horizon. |

Here Comes the Sun: The Color Yellow | March 22 – April 12 *ONLINE HERE*
In March, we are all craving more warmth and sunshine, seems only fitting to bring some brightness to the Francine Kelly Gallery! Yellow will be featured as our color show this year. Yellow stands for hope, positivity, clarity, energy, optimism and enlightenment. According to numerous studies, yellow helps activate the memory, encourage communication, enhance vision, build confidence and stimulate the nervous system. So as we enter a new decade, let's turn on the lights and spread a little JOY! After all, who doesn't smile when they think of Big Bird, Marilyn Monroe, glowing sunsets and lemons?! |

The Numbers Speak for Themselves February 20 – March 15
Do you have a favorite number or set of numbers? We have found over the years that many artists incorporate numbers into their art. With 20/20 vision and a clear path for the future, we thought it best to kick off the year with a show about numbers. We are inviting artists to submit artwork that includes at least one number in the actual composition, (not in title only). So from clocks to airplane tail numbers, scientific equations to computer code, number symbolism abounds! |
|
