Tell Me a Story Art Exhibit at Del Ray Artisans Gallery

Join us at Del Ray Artisans gallery for a variety of stories told from local area artists. Have you ever looked at a piece of art and your imagination immediately starts to wander? Narrative art tells a story, either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding over time. A picture is worth a thousand words; Tell Me a Story will take you on an imaginative journey.

Meet curator Lesley Hall and the artists at the opening reception on Friday, March 6 from 7-9pm; and register now for these special workshops held in conjunction with the exhibit:

• Calligraphy Storytelling Workshop on Sunday, March 15 from 1-4pm. Explore calligraphy through experimenting with various writing tools and letterforms.

• Create a New Story: Altered Book Workshop on Saturday, March 28 from 1-4pm. Transform a board book into a beautiful, inspiring new story using paints, papers, pages from old books and plenty of mixed media techniques.
