'Southern Lights' Exhibition Opens July 16 At Ventulett Gallery

The Atlanta Fine Arts League (AFAL) will light up Holy Innocents’ Ventulett Gallery July 16 with a show featuring works by League members.

“Southern Lights,” will run through Aug. 14 at the gallery inside Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church. “‘Southern Lights’ celebrates the South in all it’s transitory light,” says AFAL member and exhibition chair Nancy Bartmess about the title.

The public is invited to an opening reception with refreshments on Thursday, July 16, from 6-8 p.m. The exhibiton will be on display at the church during church hours: Monday though Thursdays 9 a.m.–4 p.m. and 9 a.m.–3 p.m. on Fridays.

All works in the juried show, judged by painter Patrick Dennis, will be for sale.

The Atlanta Fine Arts League was created in 2005 as an Atlanta artists’ collective. Members share ideas, find support, build professional relationships, and also give back to the Atlanta area by sponsoring “arts projects, events, and exhibitions designed to enrich the community,” according to the League website. “Our purpose is to provide professional visual artists working in representational genres opportunities for exhibitions, art and business education, workshops, critique sessions, discussion groups, and participation in community service.”
