Spectrum Gallery Presents A Show of Hands: The Fiber Arts Spectrum Gallery and Store’s first exhibit of 2015 explores the rich and diverse world of fiber art.

Artists participating in the exhibit work with mixed media, quilting, felting, knitwear, fabric assemblage and 3-D sculpture, weaving and other textile work, photography, and jewelry. The exhibit showcases unique pieces that not only represent often beautiful and compelling work, but highlight the materials and labor intensity of the artists who create them.

ANNUAL STILL LIFE EXHIBITION
William Baczek Fine
Arts, in Northampton, Mass. is pleased to welcome the new year with the 2015
Still Life Exhibition. The group exhibition will be on display from Wednesday,
February 4 through Saturday, March 14. There will be an opening reception with
the artists on Saturday, February 7 from five to seven in the evening. This
year eight artists will be presenting recent work exploring the concept of the
contemporary still life.
The mission of this
exhibition is to expand upon preconceived notions of what a still life can be.
The contemporary still life has to compare itself with all of art history so
the challenge is, how can a new painting compete with what has been done before
yet still remain fresh and relevant.
Selections from this exhibition and works
by other gallery artists are available for viewing on the gallery’s web site at
www.wbfinearts.com. For more information about this or upcoming exhibits
please call the gallery at 413-587-9880 or e-mail at info@wbfinearts.com.
The gallery is located at 36 Main St. in downtown Northampton, Mass. and is
open Tuesday and Wednesday 10 – 5, Thursday – Saturday, 10 - 8 and Sundays from
12 - 5.
