WSG supports Youth Art Month

Community High School student Liz McCubby has this small, mixed-media piece on display at WSG during the current show. WSG is supporting Youth Art Month downtown A2 by exhibiting Steve Coron's advanced students' work. You'll see it in the front window, as you walk by the gallery.

McCubby's piece needs to be seen up close, though. So stop on inside the gallery to check it out!

WSG hosts Community High art students

Community Highschool student Grace Fisher created this mixed-media piece.

WSG hosts Steve Coron's advanced students for "Youth Art Month" downtown Ann Arbor. Student work from all over Washtenaw County is displayed in business windows downtown for the month of February.
Community High students have had to mat and frame their pieces so they can be professionally displayed at WSG. We celebrate their work, as well as our "Faces" show with a reception Friday, March 4, 6-9pm.

"Faces" goes up at WSG

Look in the windows at WSG the next couple of days, and you might see gallery members Norma Penchansky-Glasser and Nora Venturelli carefully arranging and hanging the new show "Faces". This show features self-portraits by gallery owners/artists in all the different ways they've interpreted self. (Also, Steve Coron's Community High School art students will have work featured in the current show.)

Above is Valerie Mann's self-portrait "Self-Portrait, 43" in one stage of its development. The piece is on re-purposed maple plywood, drawn and routed out with a Dremel tool at the stage above. The finished piece has had an encaustic treatment painted onto it and it's been scraped down so that the black encaustic is almost solely in the carved-out lines.

Stop by the gallery when the show opens Tuesday at noon to see all the pieces! The reception for this show is Friday, March 4, 6-9pm. Join us!

Be The Tree at WSG through next Sunday

Only 1 more week to see Martha Keller's spectacular trees! I'm not kidding, these paintings stop you in your tracks when you enter the gallery. This piece, Evergreen Overlooking Lake Michigan, is massive! Its size allows you to enter the scene on an emotional level that becomes almost physical. Martha's paintings are pieces you can have a real relationship with.

Come on in this next week and catch this gorgeous show!
