Gallery 50 New Show Opening – “Where the Wild Things Are”
August 16 @ 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm
FREE
Gallery 50 invites you to the Opening Reception for our new art exhibit “Where the Wild Things Are: Flora and Fauna in Art” at 50 West Main Street in downtown Waynesboro on Friday, August 16 from 5:30 – 8 pm. Enjoy the music of Samz@7 featuring Tresa Day next door in Music Makers. Admission is FREE!
Our 11 Artists include: Denny Bingaman, Sharon Green-Coons, Andrea Finch, Melissa Hook, Katrina Hoopes, Robyn Jacobs, Patricia McCleary, Rhonda Smith, Anne St. John, Scott Strong, and Carol Wilks.
“This is a fun, light-hearted exhibition of artwork that’s mostly colorful, always beautiful, and sometimes a little scary!” Gallery 50 curator Marti Yeager said. “There are paintings, photography, hand-pulled prints, and fabulous fabric art by 11 talented artists. Plants and animals are the subject—something for everyone—so we hope you will come and see ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’”
The gallery will also have new fine art and crafts by local artists available on the shelves: pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, stained glass art, and more.
Following the reception, the exhibit will be on display through October 26, 2024. Gallery 50 is open Fridays from 5–8 p.m. and Saturdays from 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. The full exhibit will soon be available to browse and purchase on the gallery’s online shop at www.gallery50-aagw.square.site
Gallery 50 is owned and operated by the Arts Alliance of Greater Waynesboro and spotlights fine art and high-quality crafts from local artists and artisans.
