Gallery on Pearl hosts clay exhibit
The Gallery on Pearl LLC will host a special exhibit reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 17 at the gallery, 222 Pearl St., New Albany, and featuring recent works by two prominent local artists.
The show, titled “Emerging Clay: New Ceramic Artworks by Dolita Dohrman and Steve Goodwin,” will run from Sept. 17 to Oct. 30. Refreshments will be served at the opening. Both ceramic artists have experienced major growth in their work with clay after earlier times in their lives when they focused in other directions. The current period of special creativity has given them new meaning as artists. The show demonstrates their art as “emerging” and “new.” Also, on display will be thematic paintings by a Minnesota artist, Mark Carlson, celebrating the successful struggle of many women against breast cancer. Normal summer hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
Call 812-542-0780 or visit thegalleryonpearl.com for more information.
