Exhibit Dates: April 6 – 29, 2018
Opening Reception: Friday, April 6 from 7-9pm
Join us at the opening reception of A Touch of Magic art exhibit on Friday, April 6 from 7-9pm at Del Ray Artisans to explore the magic we see in the world around us and to share in the art of everyday mysteries, miracles, marvels, and dreams.
Magic is what we believe it is. We can see it as subtle or bold, complex or simple. Magical inspirations can vary with culture, age, beliefs, experience, physiology, and even pharmacology. We can suspect that magic created that special moment of connection, that fulfilled dream, that rare experience, the unexpected beauty, or that amazing phenomenon others seem to think is just the edge of new science. Come see how artists interpret this theme during the A Touch of Magic art exhibit.
A Touch of Magic runs from April 6–29, 2018 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue, Alexandria, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are: First Thursdays (April-September) 12-9pm, Thursdays 12-6pm, Fridays 12-9pm, Saturdays 12-9pm, and Sundays 12-6pm. The gallery is free, open to the public, and handicap accessible.
