New Exhibition 'Layers Revealed' Set To Open In March

From the Town of Danville: The Town of Danville and the Village Theatre Art Gallery invite the community to come marvel at the layers of artistic expression in this collection of unique, abstract pieces done by a local painting group who call themselves, ‘Beyond the Brush.’

Set to open with a reception on Thursday, March 8, 2018, Layers Revealed is an exhibit that uncovers, examines and celebrates the inner life of the artwork of 12 local artists. The audience is invited to ponder use of color and skill that are seen in this collection of works ranging from bold and colorful to quiet and calm. On view will be artwork by the following artists: Jane Corich, Irene Desmond, Jan Foulds, Lynn Glenn, Judy Hirabayashi, Jan Lainoff, Jo Ann Lieberman, Yolanda Mihic, Roberta Welburn-Milstead, Jeanie Moran, Q. Stone Forbess and Ann Vestal.

This exhibit hopes to offer viewers a peek through the layers of art process. To develop an added appreciation not only for each specific art piece on display but, hopefully, for art in general.

‘Beyond the Brush’ artists will be available to discuss their techniques and transformative art processes at the opening reception Thursday, March 8, 2018 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be served and as always, this family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
