Love, Politics & Scrabble: The Games People Play

“Love, Politics & Scrabble: The Games People Play” promises to bring fun and games to the Del Ray Artisans’ gallery beginning with the opening reception on Friday, February 3, 2012, from 7 to 10 pm. This juried exhibit invited artists to depict any of the numerous games people play throughout life. The show was open to all area artists and all media is represented. The exhibit continues until February 26.

In conjunction with the show, the gallery is housing a fine art and fine craft Marketplace filled with art-to-go for the entire length of the exhibit. And since February is the month for love, Del Ray Artisans’ trademark handmade Valentine cards will be for sale until Valentine’s Day.
