The Third Annual East of the River Group Exhibition
Saturday, August 1, 2009 - Saturday, September 26, 2009
Location: Honfleur Art Gallery
For the third year running, artists rooted in Wards 7 and 8 will be featured in Honfleur Art Gallery's East of the River exhibition. This year's collection includes installation, photography, painting, and digital prints that are the artists' interpretation of the theme Beauty and the Beast.Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the East of the River exhibition is an important recognition of the artists who live and work in the local community surrounding Honfleur Gallery.
Many topics addressed by the artists are specific to the areas East of the River yet relate universally. The issues of neighborhood dilapidation, social problems, violence, under-recognition, and poverty contrast with aesthetics that are at times vibrant, graceful, buoyant, and truthful.Artists selected by a jury of local arts leaders and local artists include Bruce McNeil, Deborah Terry, BK Adams, Marlon Normon, Ashley Boyd, Terence Nicholson, Lance Wiggs, Liz Pester, and James Terrell.
The opening reception will occur on Saturday, August 1 at 7 pm.
