Salon 561: Annual Faculty Show
DEMAREST, NJ -- Kick off the Fall with the Art School at Old
Church! Salon 561 is open to the
public and is an annual show that showcases the wide breadth of knowledge, mediums,
and talent of the faculty at the Art School at Old Church. New to the school?
This is a great opportunity to meet the instructors, who are among many local
professional artists devoting their creativity to inspiring students of all
ages to experiment, indulge in new experiences, and to grow. While faculty continue
to show their artwork in the galleries at the school, this will be the 8th
Annual Salon 561 exhibition, and it is a chance to view the artworks in
conversation with each other. There will
be artwork for sale in various mediums in ceramics, jewelry, photography,
printmaking and more displayed in the Mikhail Zakin Gallery.
A few of the eclectic pieces are elegant vases by Susan
Bogen and Eric Lawrence, a teapot in the shape of a horse by Alison Palmer,
Chinese brush paintings by Jane Chang, a dollhouse by Holly Ciccoricco, and
striking photographs by Ray Turkin. The Art School at Old Church continues this
inclusive tradition by inviting community members, students, faculty and
curious individuals to join the conversation, meet the artists, and feel
inspired! There will be a public reception on September 28, 2016 at 5:30 PM, and the exhibition is wheelchair
accessible and is now open through October
28.
