CLOSE to home – Garibaldi Art Club
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 6, 2023 | 2:00 – 4:00 PM
Exhibition: May 6 – June 24, 2023
This season’s annual juried exhibition of the Garibaldi Art Club, Close to Home, showcases a selection of the Club’s best recent works. The exhibition’s theme centers on the Club’s current chapter of emerging from a prolonged pandemic period of staying “close to home.” The artists were encouraged to reflect and share their unique experiences of this time through their paintings.
Close to Home presents varied interpretations of the theme: retreating from the outside world, spending more time with immediate family, reviving old pastimes, or developing new interests. For many, the outdoors has been their salvation, whether gardening, neighborhood walks, or exploring places amongst our local landscapes.
