The artists at the Village Artisans invite you on a magical journey as they travel “To the Moon and Beyond” during the new Members Lobby show.   The show will be on display in the Lobby Gallery, June 5th through July 15th, 2021 during regular gallery hours. The exhibit is free and open to the public so do not miss seeing this new exhibition.  While there, you can check out all the wonderful work by the 20 Artists and Artisans in the Gallery.  Now, here is a sneak peek at several artists who will have work presented in this exhibition . . .

“A New Day Yesterday” is a striking quilted piece of Fiber art created by Pam Geisel.  It is a wonderful example of both her never ending imagination, as well as her fine quilting work.  Geisel explains she was inspired to use the 2021 Pantone Colors of the year, gray and yellow, for her material colors to represent both a day and a night.  The land beneath the tree is symbolically curved, just as the earth is, and the sun and the moon balance the landscape as they are placed in opposite corners of the sky.  The title of this piece carries deep meaning unto itself is it references to the cyclical nature of the passing of time.

“Purple Moon” is a luscious purple mixed media piece by Libby Rudolph who is an exceptional watercolorist.  Her piece appears to be in a deep, dark forest, illuminated only by the moon above as it shines through the canopy of tree above the viewer and in the distance.   This painting was created using a combination of media, Watercolor, Ink, and Pastel. 

“Alien Flower Family with Planet” is a piece of Photographic Art printed on Canvas created by Amy Blount.  It is a delightful piece sure to make you smile.  Blount is one of our talented Photographers at the Village Artisans, and she is also a highly creative Digital Artist.  

There will be more artists and much more work in this exhibition so Please don’t miss out on your chance to go “To The Moon and Beyond” because you may never get this opportunity again!  See you there 😉
