Rehoboth Art League to host opening reception April 3

In April, the Rehoboth Art League will present two new exhibitions in its galleries at 12 Dodds Lane, Henlopen Acres.

The Corkran Gallery will showcase Revolutionary: Members’ Juried Theme Show, exploring various interpretations of revolution ranging from social and political turmoil to artistic innovation and personal transformation. Subject matter could focus on historical revolutions, contemporary social movements or even the concept of revolution within an individual’s life. RAL members were encouraged to interpret their own ideas of what revolutionary means to them. This exhibition has been made possible in part by a grant from Delaware 250.

The Tubbs Gallery will feature Literary Allusions: Work by International Fiber Group: 20 Perspectives. Artists were prompted to take inspiration from literature, poems or song lyrics and interpret the words or phrases through their own visual or cultural perspectives. Each piece transforms words into vivid expressions of color, form and texture, whether abstract or figurative. Viewers will find that some of the works illustrate a quotation, while others reflect universal or intensely personal thoughts and meanings. Techniques used include lettering, painting, dyeing and collaging, utilizing commercial or hand-dyed fabric.

An opening reception for the exhibits will be held from 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, April 3, when anyone interested may visit the Corkran and Tubbs galleries to see the displayed work. The exhibitions will continue through Sunday, May 3.
