We’re thrilled to have former Artist in Residence, Carole Böggemann Peirson, return to Arts on Main this weekend for a one-day workshop focusing on light and shadow. Her keen eye and enthusiasm for visual storytelling make her a particularly skilled instructor when it comes to capturing dramatic lighting. If you happen to visit the gallery between 10 and 4 on Saturday, you’re welcome to take a peek at the workshop but, please, try to stay “library quiet” out of respect for the creativity at work. The front of the gallery will be business as usual and TWO VIEWS IN THE TIDELANDS is still on display. 🖼: Wild About Flowers, Oil, Carole Böggemann Peirson

Driftwood Vessels from our newest gallery artists Robert and Karen Podd. The Podds own and operate The Poddery in Mathews, Virginia where they have been crafting functional and sculptural ceramics for more than thirty years. Their work is largely inspired by our local landscape of tidelands, the Chesapeake and its flora and fauna.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Carolyn and George with the opening of TWO VIEWS IN THE TIDELANDS this past Friday night. We had such an amazing evening filled with good friends and beautiful artwork. To those that purchased work, thanks for being so patient with us and allowing us to keep this special show intact. It’s a gem of a show and, if you haven’t seen it yet, you’ve got the entire month of November to fit it into your schedule.
