Exhibit Dates: March 2 – April 1, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, March 2 from 7-9pm
From the earliest drawings on cave walls to the journals of travelers, the exacting engravings of James Audubon and watercolors of A. A. Milne, much of our knowledge of the natural world came from artists. The Outdoors In art exhibit at Del Ray Artisans explores this topic. Artists demonstrate in painting, sculpture, textiles, found materials, drawing, and other media, the influence and representation of the natural world around us. Outdoors In runs from March 2 – April 1, 2018. This exhibit includes member artists and all area high school and college students were invited by Del Ray Artisans to participate as well. Join us at the Opening Reception on Friday, March 2, 2018, 7-9pm.
