Art at Work

Workplaces make their walls shine with interest when they adorn them with art.  Check out these alternate venues showcasing artwork, including my own pieces recently installed at Zinc Salon in Unionville.  Zinc is also sponsoring a fundraiser this Sunday with discounted haircuts - ck it out and put your glam towards a good cause!

Info from Jo McGinnis:
I wanted to let you know that I am currently exhibiting at  the Center for Integrative Medicine at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford .  I would love to have you join me for a "Meet the Artist" event next Thursday, Feb. 23, 4 - 7 pm.  The show runs now through the end of March.  The Center is open weekdays from 9:00 am  to 4:00 pm.  You may wish to give a call to assure the time frame of your visit (860-714-4460).  The Center is easily accessible from the 2nd floor parking garage entrance to the hospital, just before the walk-over to the professional medical building.  I have attached a flyer with additional information and directions.  Hope to see you there!!!!!!  Jo

I have seen sparks fly out
When two stones are rubbed,
So perhaps it is not dark inside after all;
Perhaps there is a moon shining
From somewhere, as though behind a hill-
Just enough light to make out
The strange writings, the star-charts

On the inner walls.
