The Gallery at West Side
Currently on view are the varied works of West Sider Nick White (son of Myra Garcia and Rick White), senior student, who is heading for the University of Hartford's art school in September. Nick will have his works on display and, as is fitting for a young artist, will hang a wide variety of subjects and media. His exhibit will continue through June 25th.
Following Nick will be the work of Karl Blunck, a lifelong artist, who will exhibit his exquisite watercolors from around the world. Karl's exhibit will continue though July 23rd, at which point West Side's own Rob Holloway will show his highly creative, challenging images generated on the computer. Rob's work will be on view through September 10th.
West Side has its own community art gallery, lit with natural light from the skylights above. Sales of work exhibited at the Gallery means a 25% donation to the church. The Gallery operates under the auspices of the Fine Arts Guild of the Worship and Music Council, whose mission is:
- to provide members and visitors with an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy a variety of forms of artistic expression
to encourage local artists and to inform others about them by providing a display venue
- to continue to foster an appreciation for artistic expression within West Side and as an outreach to the greater community
- to show how God so loves us as to enable the creation of such enriching artistic expression, thus providing us with greater reason and opportunity to offer thanks and praise.
Exhibitions are chosen by a committee of members, chaired by John Ianacone. For information on The Gallery at West Side, contact Joanne Rodland, 201-652-1966, ext. 15, joanne@westside.org.
To protect the works of art that have been entrusted to us for the duration of each exhibit, no food or beverages are permitted in the gallery. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Gallery Hours: Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
