"All Squared Away" is December show at Asheville Gallery of Art

Asheville Gallery of Art’s December show, “All Squared Away,” will feature small works by 21 member artists. All pieces will be 18 inches square or smaller. The show will run from December 1-31 during gallery hours 11-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-4 p.m. Sundays. The public is cordially invited to a reception for the artists on Friday, December 2 from 5-8 p.m. The gallery is located at 82 Patton Avenue in Asheville, across from Pritchard Park.

A wide range of subject matter, media, and styles will be represented. Those participating in the show enjoy the challenge of working small and within limited perimeters. Artist Jane Molinelli said, “Small paintings can be just as dynamic and energetic as large ones while providing a focal point or touch of color and interest to any collection.” Asheville Gallery of Art hopes art lovers will not only enjoy the show, but will use it to purchase affordable (and packable) works of art by local artists for holiday gift giving.

 

As well as the small works in the show, the works of 31 artists will be on display and for sale through the month of December. For further information about this show, telephone Asheville Gallery of Art at (828) 251-5796, visit the gallery website at www.ashevillegallery-of-art.com, or go to the gallery Facebook page.
