Rehoboth Art League to host opening reception Feb. 15
The Rehoboth Art League will host two member artist exhibitions that debut Friday, Feb. 15, with an opening reception for the artists and public set for 5 to 7 p.m., at the league’s Henlopen Acres campus.
Small Vessels – Ceramic Works, featured in the Ventures Gallery, is a showcase of talented ceramists and artists within the community. Many of these artists take advantage of the Rehoboth Art League’s well-developed Open Pottery Studio, which has everything needed to create ceramic pieces of art.
Works in this members’ exhibition do not exceed a maximum dimensional value of more than eight inches in any direction, challenging the artists to keep their creations compact and inventive.
The Tubbs Gallery will feature Small Works, Big Art, which demonstrates that size does not necessarily dictate the impact of a work of art. RAL member artists were invited to place up to four original pieces into the exhibition, each with an image size restriction of 100 square inches total, and priced no more than $500. Submitted works include paintings in oil, acrylic and mixed media, plus drawings, digital and silver gelatin photographs, mosaics and more.
“The caliber of work for this show, both 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional, is amazing. The artists were able to capture in a small scale all the details you would usually find in larger works of art,” said Nick Serratore, RAL exhibitions director.
The winter gallery hours at the Rehoboth Art League are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and 12 to 4 p.m., Sunday. The opening reception is free and open to the public. Both exhibitions and RAL’s current Members’ Sales Gallery exhibit run through Tuesday, March 12.
