“The First Street Show” Jutta Gietl, April Gratrix, Jessamyn Parker, and Susan Handau
| Exhibition Dates: September 8 – November 6 Reception: Thursday, October 22, 5 – 7pm “An eye not told what to see, sees more.” “Abstract artwork is open to the viewer’s interpretation and can elicit emotions, memories, and associations that work on a deep level to stir the soul,” says City Artist Joanna Drakos. “I hope to do just that with my curated exhibition in Reno City Hall Metro Gallery.” This curated group show is the penultimate realization of a goal Joanna set a few years ago: to showcase local, non-representational, abstract painting for Reno audiences. This exhibition is a crucial step towards engaging and educating the public on the artistry of this expressive painting style. Viewers will experience the diverse interpretation of abstract painting; displaying differing styles, color palettes, and the unique marks of each individual artist. Metro Gallery, located on the first floor of City of Reno City Hall is one of three galleries operated by the City of Reno. To learn more please visit: City of Reno, NV Metro Gallery |
