"The first dual exhibition by these long-time friends, Deborah Schneider and Sean Scherer share a deep interest in abstraction and its potential for generating beauty. Approaching the idiom from their unique perspectives, each project charts a very different area of abstraction offering the viewer a strong sense of the vastness of the field."

A rare opportunity for artists to be spontaneous and for art lovers to purchase art at a reasonable price. Great food and wine. $10 admission. Rain or Shine!.
The artwork will also be on exhibit to the public on Sunday from 11 - 4 pm. Walt Meade Gallery
