Painting by Exit Gallery artist Pam Carlson
“Weather, Whether”

Weather, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, raining or snowing, windy or calm, there is beauty to be found. Cover your brush with your weather paint and just have fun putting it on your canvas where it will last forever….but do it quickly before it changes.

“Weather, Whether” is the second juried show of the Essex Art Association's 2017 season. Gallery visitors will delight in the variety of high quality artwork in this exhibit, which will be juried for entry and awards. Monetary prizes totaling $1900 will be awarded in addition to the prestigious Exit Gallery Award which offers the winning artist a solo exhibit in the Art Association's Exit Gallery during the next gallery season.

The exhibit’s Public Reception is Friday, July 28, 2017, 6-8 pm. The show runs July 29 - August 19, 2017. The EAA Gallery is located at 10 North Main Street, Essex, CT. Gallery hours: 1-5 pm daily, closed Tuesdays. For more information visit essexartassociation.com or call 860-767-8996.            

The exhibition juror is Lenny Moskowitz, a Connecticut landscape painter who lives in New Haven with his wife. He graduated with his B.F.A from the Philadelphia College of Art and received his M.F.A. from Michigan's Cranbrook Academy.
