National Art Organizations Art Exhibit Reception

Orange – CT ASMP & AIGA Art Exhibit

What is Orange? Join two local chapters of national art organizations – The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) & the American Institute of Graphic Artists (AIGA) - in their eclectic exhibit, Orange.

Over 40 artists are gathering from all over Connecticut to exhibit their interpretations of the word “orange” through an array of mediums, techniques and subject matters. The artists have drawn upon a vast historical context, from the early roots of design and photography dating back to the 1800’s all the way to the digital advances of the 21st century. These diverse influences are present in the show, as every artist takes a distinctive approach to interpret such a simple word from the English language.

The exhibit will run for one night, Thursday, March 7th from 6:30 – 10:00 pm at The Leif Nilsson Spring Street Gallery. There will be live music from The Side Doors, a custom-created “orange” drink from Onyx Moonshine, and wine & hors d'oeuvres. Admission is free thanks to sponsors Shutterstock, Livebooks, CSI Rentals, Autumn Color, and Still River Images. There will be raffle tickets for $5 for the chance to win such prizes as a website from Livebooks, a Giclée from Still River Editions and a messenger bag from Tenba. All of the work will be for sale. The Gallery is located at One Spring Street, Chester, Connecticut 06412.
