BIG ARTS to hold reception for new exhibits
BIG ARTS will host a multi-artist reception on May 3 from 5 to 7 p.m. for two new exhibits, “Art as Therapy, Hope and Healing Through Art” and “Inaugural Artists Collective.” Free and open to the public, it will feature the opportunity to meet with the artists and complimentary wine and light bites.
On display from May 3 through June 7 in the Dunham Family Gallery, “Art as Therapy, Hope and Healing Through Art” is a collaboration between Hope Healthcare and Lee Health. Expressive arts, in all forms, strive to provide hope and healing through the creative process. The exhibit shares the journey of each artist during bereavement, grief, illness, depression, physical and emotional challenges, rehabilitation, and recovery.
On display from April 26 through July 19 in the Mezzanine Gallery, “Inaugural Artists Collective” features BIG ARTS’ instructors exhibiting an eclectic body of work that includes a range of mediums, including oil painting, watercolor pencils, acrylics, mixed media, fused glass, poetry and more. Explore their creative expertise through the exhibit, which provides a glimpse into the artistic prowess they bring to their classes and workshops.
The BIG ARTS Fine Arts Series is sponsored by Jim and Gaye Pigott.
The galleries are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
