Gallery Opening and Outdoor Wheels Show: Saturday, April 21, 12-7pm
April 21, 2012 – May 11, 2012

New Haven, CT – Reynolds Fine Art is pleased to present Wheels, a fine art exhibition and car, motorcycle, and bicycle show featuring art work that revolves around the theme of wheels. 
This exhibition will feature painting, photography, and sculpture. In some cases the work itself is created of recycled car parts or road signs. Bruno Ratensperger, CT based classic car photographer, will be exhibiting; commissions available. In addition, on display in the gallery will be handmade motorcycles by Lock Baker courtesy of The Devil’s Gear Bike Shop, New Haven Power Sports, and Zane’s Cycles. This unlikely and exciting juxtaposition will serve to bridge the gap in the viewer’s mind between form and function of art.
 Sat. April 21, 12-7pm will be an all day car, motorcycle, and bicycle show. Antique and performance cars will be on view in the parking garage adjacent to Reynolds Fine Art. A section of Orange Street between Chapel Street and Crown Street will be closed off to road traffic to allow additional cars and motorcycles to be displayed. Surrounding businesses will be participating in this event as well. Be sure to stop by Arpaia Lang at 806 Chapel Street, to join in a raffle of jewelry custom made for this event. Please come and see Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars who will be here!
This event is free and open to the public. A portion of proceeds from sales will go to benefit Autism Speaks.
Located at 96 Orange Street, the mission of Reynolds Fine Art is to contribute to an economic and cultural ecosystem through vibrant samples of artwork, not only in our home neighborhood, but also in the Lower Chapel district and New Haven as a whole. Periodically, shows, demonstrations, lectures, workshops and art sessions are held to infuse New Haven with the different aspects of the art world.


Art Lovers, 


I wanted to formally invite you and your family to the opening reception of 'Faces of Hartford' on Monday April 23rd from 5-8 p.m. at Bin 228, at 228 Pearl St. in downtown Hartford where portraits of people of Hartford will be featured.

In the hope of achieving at least some part of the show's charitable goal I would like to draw a significant crowd to this opening where there will be a recommended $10 donation and where an additional 30% of the proceeds from the sale of all work included in the exhibition will go to the House of Bread to benefit the homeless cause in Hartford.  I'm sure you'll see some familiar faces on canvas of Hartford's known and unknown that make up our beautiful Capital City!  I look forward to seeing you soon! 

Sincerely,
Charlie
