Summer exhibit at Main View Gallery

Main View Gallery & Studio’s summer exhibit, Family, opens with a public reception on Friday, June 4, 2010 from 5-7 pm at 73 Main St., Oneonta, NY.
Family explores the feelings and memories invoked by family connections and extends the traditional view of family to include friends, class members, teachers, coaches and roommates. Abstract acrylic paintings reflect feelings and thoughts of those we call family. Collaborative screen prints represent the Main View Gallery design family and jewelry symbolizes family crests and relatives. The eclectic personalities of the Main View Gallery artists come across to create a colorful, fun and loving family environment.

The featured artist is David Zimmerman. The work in the exhibit was created under the direction of Main View Gallery Artistic Coordinator/Curator Zena Gurbo and visiting artists Karin Bremer, David Kenny and Simone Mantellassi. Bremer, Kenny and Mantellassi assisted in the design and installation of various parts of the exhibit and each will show a piece that is representative of the work created in their classes.

The opening reception is free and open to the public. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the artists, and enjoy refreshments. Regular gallery hours are M-F 8-4 pm or by appointment. The exhibit runs until August 20, 2010. For more information call 607-432-1890 or visit the website at www.mainviewgallery.org.
