Every January we ring in the new year with new work – new energy at WSG gallery. Our holiday show in December is always great! We feature art and locally made work by painters, weavers, book artists, sculptors, jewelry designers, ceramicists – a vast array of items large and small, perfect for gift-giving to others or oneself! But when January 1 rolls around, we mount a massive effort to change over from previous year to new year and new energy in our gallery.
17+ 17 is a show that we start planning a good 6-10 months ahead of time. Each of us gets excited to choose our guest for the show! Sometimes we bring in familiar names, other times there are artists we haven’t even met – one of us suggests a few names of artists we know and we each research who we might like to bring in. This show brings in some phenomenal new artists to the gallery! Check out the images below and come see the work in person! The reception is Friday, January 4, 5-7pm, but the show runs through February 2.
