New Art Exhibition in Danville Features Artwork from Northern California Women's Caucus Artists

DANVILLE, CA-The Town of Danville announced Tuesday that a new art exhibition will grace Village Theatre and Art Gallary beginning April 29.

Art Tag = Inspire is an exhibition featuring paintings, photographs, collage and sculpture curated by the Northern California Women’s Caucus for Art, Exhibitions Chair, Leisel Whitlock.

Whitlock studied at the Welch School of Art & Design in Atlanta, GA and obtained her M.A. from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago. She has paired up 17 artists from the group whose mission is to create community through art, to show work they have created collaboratively as well as artwork created independently.

Art Tag is an exercise of a sort of Tag and Response method in which the women step out of their normal comfort zone of creating that which is familiar to them and learn to employ new methods and techniques and incorporate new materials in their practice. The exercise culminates in a variety of presentations reflecting each artist’s unique expression.

An Opening Reception for the new exhibition is scheduled for Friday, April 29, 2016 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be served at the opening reception and, as always, the event is free and open to the public. The exhibition will run through June 18, 2016.

The Village Theatre and Art Gallery is open to visitors Wednesday through Friday 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Monday and Tuesday by appointment only. The Art Gallery is closed on Sundays. Admission is free and donations are appreciated.
