Latest Community ArtReach exhibit features paintings, photography and pottery by three local artists
Fresno - The UC Center, Fresno will hold an opening reception for the winter Community ArtReach exhibit on ArtHop night, Thursday, Dec. 1 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served and the public is invited to attend.
The exhibit features a complementary collection of artwork by three well-known local artists: mixed-media paintings by Michael Garcia; black-and-white photography by Mike Phillips and mixed-media compositions and wood-fired and raku pottery by Geoffrey Spach.
The artists created their work separately using mediums and techniques unrelated to one another’s, yet the collective body of art demonstrates a strong aesthetic compatibility and relationship in terms of color, texture, form and subject matter. All of the pieces share a strong connection to earthly elements as well as a sense of antiquity and timelessness.
The exhibit will run through Feb. 2, 2006 and is open to the public free of charge during UC Center business hours. The UC Center is located at 550 East Shaw Ave. (across from Fashion Fair Mall) in Fresno. For more information, please call Jeanie Smith at (559) 241-7510.
Presented as a public service to San Joaquin Valley residents, Community ArtReach is fine art exhibit sponsored by UC Merced and UC Office of the President with the support of participating artists and community volunteers.
