                                      Community Wide Opening Reception at the CAA Galleries

 

You're invited! Come to the Cooperstown Art Association for our biggest community-wide opening reception of the year. We will be celebrating the start of three exciting shows: ESSENTIAL ART; the 22nd Annual Regional Juried Art Show, “At the Water's Edge"; paintings by Sandra Dovberg and the Cooperstown Central School Art Exhibit.  The public reception will be on Friday, May 3rd from 5:00p.m.-7:00p.m. with music by Norman Dovberg, wine and tasty treats made by community members.

 

ESSENTIAL ART is a juried art show celebrating the talents of artists residing in New York State. The jurors this year are Kristen Henderson, Director of the Cherry Branch Gallery and Alice Brewton Hurwitz of Cherry Valley, NY.  These two talented judges will select artwork to create a show that is truly outstanding!  ESSENTIAL ART will be on display through May 31st in Gallery A.

 

“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.

 

As always, admission to the Cooperstown Art Association is free! The CAA galleries are located at the 22 Main Street Building on the corner of Main & Fair streets. Gallery Hours:  Open Daily 11-4 and Sunday 1-4, Closed Tuesdays through Memorial Day. For more information please call (607) 547-9777.  Visit us on the web at www.cooperstownart.com.
