Gallery Exhibits

Coming this winter, the Art Corner will present local artists and their works. The renovations you saw on Labor Day weekend will showcase an art gallery setting in the store. We will continue to renovate that side of the store--the right hand side as you come in the door, as an "official" Art Gallery. I have the Art Corner's Electrician--Richard Morse, of Rowley--coming in to add track lighting, and Ray Whittier of Lynn to do signage. I'll send press releases to the Salem News and the Salem Gazette, as well as the North Shore Sunday. Possibly the Globe, too. Besides sending out to our extensive mailing list to inform customers what to expect.

February: we kick off with a show featuring works by the Art Corner employees. Elaine Snow, design degree from Northeastern; Nancy Barnes, graduate of RISD; Justin Snow, Montserrat School of Art; Wendy Snow-Lang (me) Summa Cum Laude, New England School of Art and Design.

March: Virginia Hill, watercolorist of the Virginia Hill Gallery, Rockport. Prominent member of the Danvers Art Association and award winner at the Marblehead Art Association, among many other accolades, including a painting of hers in the personal collection of Mr. Steven Spielberg. More info on her works will be available here the closer we get to her show.

April: a very unique digital photography show that I will tell you more about the closer we get to it!

May: Mr. Benneville Strohecker of Marblehead will display his wonderful color works. His palette is a joy to see. His watercolors bring back memories of his trips abroad, his beloved Marblehead, his unique poetic Odes to Grandchildren--you must see!

June: AHEM. May I introduce--NO! YOU know him already!!--Mr. Charles Lang! Artist Extraordinaire--Pop Surrealist--Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror Illutrator--Landscape Artist--Still Life Painter--Portraitist, etc, etc, etc.

July: FISH!! Three artists present their takes on our Finny Friends: Michele Jata, MaryJo McConnell and Wendy Snow-Lang (me!)

October will be the annual Halloween Show, in loose conjuction with the Haunted Happenings events and the annual Terror Fantasies Supernatural Art Show.

More to come!
