Eleven painters were invited to participate in this all PAINT exhibition.

Painters for the exhibition include: Val Carter, Courtney Brockett, Jill Hosmer, Kathleen Bodley, Leonard Heid, Kasey Keeler, Nara Woodland, Ellen Vieth, Christine Havens, Ray Esparsen Aaron Johnson. Artists will be on hand for the Opening.

A quote from the LCSC Center for Arts & History programming coordinator, Ellen Vieth:

“My wish is to celebrate the love of painting- through the lens of eleven different painters. Painting exhibitions seem a rarity these days. As a painter I know how moving and memorable it can be to engage in a dialogue with other painters. Such an exhibition also gives us the opportunity to explain and show how artists engage in the process of creative exploration. Whether it is through a visceral response to the medium, a philosophical exploration, or a passionate emotive understanding of space and time… painting provides a discourse for examination on many levels.”

The exhibition is brought to the community through sponsorship from Dr. Greg and Susan Buratto and a grant from US Bancorp. The gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00am to 4:00pm Admission is FREE, but donations are graciously accepted.

The Mission of the LCSC Center for Arts & History is to educate and engage community in an appreciation of culture, history and arts.
