What I like about a themed exhibition is the variety of interpretations. It's fun to see how each artist approached the theme and how they carried out their idea. There was a lot of variety in this exhibit:
sculpture, paintings (oil, watercolor and acrylic), photography, mosaic, pastel, pencil and collage'. Most
of the exhibits had cheerful colors, but not all. One unique entry was a carved carousel from a gourd. I entered an oil painting "Family Legacy".
than I can remember. There are big pieces and small pieces. Some are for sale, others are not.
A fun aspect of this exhibit is the inclusion of students as well as adults. Two young women entered
and I had a lovely time chatting with one of them. She entered a photograph and the other gal painted
a watercolor. Sadly, I did not get to meet her. It was interesting to see the theme through a young person's eyes and to see the differences, but also the similarities in their approach-not material wise, but intellectually or maybe emotionally. Both are very talented.
And what would a "meet and greet" be without food? Yes, they had punch, crackers, deli meat etc., but
the best snack was the "circus peanuts". How could one celebrate the circus if one didn't serve "circus peanuts"? I would like to know why the originator of the candy chose to flavor them banana instead of orange like their color............
Thank you Lowell!Arts for this exhibition opportunity!
