Invitation to Linger explores landscapes, both interior and exterior. Inspired by memories, feelings, scenes, and experiences, the artists invite you to pause and enjoy. Works in acrylic and mixed media by James-Allen Holmes, Jenny Wilson, and Karla Raines draw the viewer in while they extend the surface out.
The artists invited two local creatives to enrich the visitor experience. Taste-maker Tammy Abramovitz brings an eye for stylish composition as guest curator. Tammy is known for arranging unexpected style elements in bold tableaus. Tammy hosts a Curator’s Cocktail Party featuring her signature punch.
The eye is delighted by art and fashion pairings featuring one-of-a-kind creations from Mona Lucero. Richly embellished jackets and headpieces intermingle with the paintings. Mona brings her artistic flair to a Valentine pop-up shop within the gallery. Mimosas with Mona features giftable fashion and art pieces for your sweetheart.
Collaboration brings a fresh perspective to highlight the artwork in situ exploring sightlines, color stories, textures, and inspirations across two- and three-dimensional creations. It’s a wonderful way to kick off 2024 at D’art Gallery. Visitors will enjoy a curated Spotify playlist courtesy of Tammy and James.
