ESSENTIAL ART is a juried art show celebrating the talents of artists residing in
“At the Water's Edge", a solo exhibition of paintings by Sandra Dovberg, presents abstracted aquatic environments in a variety of mediums. Dovberg's unique style combines elements of abstraction with representational subjects to convey a sense of renewal and relaxation. In this show, babbling brooks and crashing waves come to life through the mediums of oil, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, collage and found objects. With these paintings, Dovberg aims to create an even better reality than the reality that the eye sees. This show will be on display through May 31st in Gallery B.
Lastly, the tradition of the Cooperstown Central School Art Exhibit continues with an exciting outpouring of talent for 2013. The students' enthusiasm and creativity is not to be missed at this annual show that will fill the upstairs ballroom gallery with color through May 29th.
