Åarhus Gallery is pleased to have guest artist Abbie Read of Appleton kick off the summer season with a mixed media exhibit for the month of July. The show runs from July 3 through the 29. Please join us for an opening reception Friday July 6, 5-8 p.m.

Abbie has taught painting, drawing, printmaking, 2-D and 3-D design, and presently teaches workshops on artist books, bookbinding, altered books and art journaling. She says, “I like to respond to the world metaphorically with imagery from the natural world and through the use of found objects: to conjure associations and trigger memories…….”

Aarhus Gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m.-5:30 p.m, Mondays by chance and until 8 p.m. on Fridays in July and August as part of Belfast’s Friday Art Walks. For more information and a slideshow of the current exhibit visit www.aarhusgallery.com or call 338-0001.
