Go Green: Altered Books as Recycled Art

Reduce - Reuse- Recycle

We are really excited about this upcoming demonstration and show! Transforming a used book into a totally unique new piece of art has so many creative possibilities. Gallery artist Kelly Marszycki, will take you through the process used to create an altered book and discuss various materials you can use. She will also have used books on hand for you to take home and use as the basis of your new creation, or you can use a book you already own. Then on June 27th between 10am and 2pm bring your altered book to the gallery and enter it into our jured show of altered books. The opening reception is Sunday June 29th 2-4pm. Space is limited so please call Jan, 860-669-3582 to reserve your space. There is a $10 registration fee, which you can mail to the Gallery, 85 Main Street, Centerbrook, CT .

The Spring Show will still be up during the Altered Book show so plan on enjoying some wonderful art and invite friends and family to come and savor our beautiful location and hospitality.

Upcoming Spring Show- Call For Sculptors- Painting on the Gallery Grounds

Please join us as we celebrate the glorious change of seasons from the quiet stillness of winter to the passionate burst of new life in spring. We'll have beautiful, colorful new paintings from all the gallery artists that are sure to be both pleasing to the eye and joyful to the soul. Now is the time to add an original and unique piece of fine art to your home. Fine art is an heirloom you can pass on to your children and grandchildren, a financial investment as well as an investment in the quality of your life. Original art is exceptionally striking in a home and brings wonderful mood and character to your living space setting it apart from other rooms decorated with mass produced prints. The thrill of discovering a new artist and building a collection is very satisfying. Don't be afraid to jump in, trust your instincts and buy what speaks to your eye and heart. No special knowledge is required to become a collector. You'll be enjoying your new acquisitions and others will admire them too as your home becomes a visually rich and rewarding place to be.
