Taking a Line for a Walk – Artist Reception

June 28, 2023 @ 6:00 am - 8:00 pm

Free

Please join us on June 28th at Park Towne Place in celebration of our latest exhibition, Taking a Line for a Walk. The opening reception will begin in the North Tower, moving on to the West Tower, and finally the South Tower. Each tower will offer an opportunity to hear short remarks from a featured artist or curator, and a chance to mingle. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served. We look forward to seeing you at this next installment of art at Park Towne Place!

About the Exhibition:
Taking a Line for a Walk is an exhibition of artwork united by line as a formal and conceptual element. Spanning a diverse array of media, rich with associative qualities, the artwork consists of sculpture, assemblage, painting, and ceramics. However, each artwork can also be seen as drawing in space. Beginning with a chosen material, be it pipe cleaner, clay, plastic, or acrylic, each artist allows for the form and meaning to meander and fuse, becoming something spectacular and unique, always with an eye to the linear quality of the composition. The exhibition features six local artists, Nanci Hersh, Sharon Bloomfield Hicks, Taesook Jung, Caroline Lathan-Stiefel, Kate Stewart, and Samara Weaver.
