The opening of ArtSpace/Pops 2016: A Fine Craft Invitational is Sunday, July 31, 2016 with an artist’s reception between 2:00-4:00 pm in the Ellen Nelson Gallery, which features all new works by twenty-two area craftsmen and -women in a joint showing which builds on the success of its predecessors.
The emphasis of the exhibit is on “fine” crafts: work that exhibits the same imaginative creativity, the same attention to detail and the same understanding of medium as any art must do. The exhibit will run through September 10, 2016.
Artists on display work in wood, metal, clay, paper, fabric and various jewelry-oriented combinations of metals and beads. Artists for the show include: Kaye Boiarski, Bruce Chesser, Ed Corle, Judy Decker, Anna Talei Fisher, Jodi Knoch, Brandon Knott, Judith Greavu, Mike Kozumplik, Sue Lazerwitz, Kim Leopold, Gregg Luginbuhl, Jim Mellick, Robert Minto, Sue Nocera, Libbi Pennington, Martha Sackett, Yasue Sakaoka, Luke Sheets, Stacey Slick, Barbara Spurgeon and Ralph Stuckman.
The exhibit will run through September 10, 2016, and for more information, contact Bill Sullivan at ArtSpace/Lima 419-222-1721.
