Inspired by... the ACW’s October Art Show opens Friday at the Cultural Exchange
The Arts Collaborative of Wakefield invites the public to their annual fall Art Exhibit Inspired by... The ACW is a community-based art group that organizes exhibits two to three times annually. Visitors to this ACW event can anticipate an art exhibit featuring various media by 30 local artists, along with art sales, a fundraiser, demonstrations, collaborations, and a special exhibit.This art exhibit and sale is generously sponsored by The Savings Bank.
Inspired by…will be open on Fridays: October 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and on Saturdays: October 3, 10, 17 and 24 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Albion Cultural Exchange. The theme Inspired by...offers a broad platform for artistic expression and is intentionally open-ended. Since the inspiration may not always be apparent, the gallery's labeling includes a section for artists to describe the inspiration behind their work.
The ACW frequently arranges a special exhibit within the art show to emphasize a particular aspect that merits additional focus. This time, our theme is the Halloween season. What images come to mind when you think of Halloween... ghosts and goblins, pumpkins, costumes? Be sure to visit our collection of Halloween artwork in the special exhibit ‘Inspired by Halloween’.
The Small Works Fundraiser has returned, offering artwork for sale at just $10.00 each. This event is a great chance to acquire unique art pieces while supporting a noble cause. All proceeds will go to PAWS, a volunteer-run, non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to promoting and protecting the rights and well-being of domestic animals and wildlife, as well as fostering a greater understanding of animal welfare and rights through education.
On opening night, attendees can enjoy a reception with snacks and drinks, while the ACWPop Up Shop will showcase and offer works for sale by Richard Ales in watercolor, Ravneet Marwaha in photography, and mixed media collage by Elizabeth Wiltshire exclusively for this evening. Explore the featured artists and find some unique and affordable items for purchase. On Saturday, Sandra Panico will be demonstrating how to paint and glaze sea shells for holiday gifts. Lauren,reference librarian from the Beebe Library will have an inspired collection of materials on display.
The exhibit is open 9 times in October on Friday and Saturdays at the Albion Cultural Exchange. Hope to see you there.
