The show features a wide variety of items from ceramics and glass to jewelry and fiber arts. Unique hand-made items will be available that will fit everyone's budget. It's a great opportunity to do your holiday shopping and help support local arts.

Artists Opportunity

This year, we have an open call for artists/crafts people to submit their work for consideration for this exhibition. Craft artists who are interested in submitting samples of their work (along with contact information and any support materials) for inclusion in our Decorative Arts Holiday show are asked to send their information to info@allenslane.org.


Two Sculptors: Richard Weiner and Simone Spicer

Jan. 7 – Feb. 18, 2011

Opening Reception:
Friday,
Jan. 7, 2011
6:00 - 9:00pm
Free and Open to the Public

This unique pairing of two very different sculptors will highlight the very different processes that artists take in order to achieve their vision. Mr. Weiner works in a subtractive method using large pieces of wood while Ms. Spicer uses pieces of cardboard in an additive technique to achieve her vision. Both artists' works are prmarily based on the figure but their techniques and vision have lead them down very distinctive paths.
