Opening Reception: Friday January 10, 2014, 5:30-7:30 p.m.

The void that Binds refers to the origin of the map drawings and talismans in the form of sketches on paper and small bits of fabric as well as collected natural geometries and textures such as coral, stones and bones. The trajectory of the gaze across the plane upon which las tapas are displayed, as well as the lines of sight created by the viewfinder objects among the large map drawings, becomes the void that binds.

Reception: January 8, 5-7 pm

Artists and designers today are finding innovative and surprising ways to combine the fields of fashion, environmentalism, ecology, and art. For this exhibition, creatives were invited to submit works that address the issues of sustainability and eco-consciousness in the context of fashion and wearable art. Artwork, garments, and designs could be created from sustainable materials, address sustainability as a practice, challenge our definition of fashion itself, and/or present wearable eco-friendly works.

Main Line Art Center presents the Professional Artist Members Exhibition, featuring works by a selection of its 2014 Professional Artist Members. 

Juried by Sharon Ewing, Director of Gross McCleaf Gallery and Shawn Murray, Owner of Twenty-Two Gallery, the exhibition includes a variety of media and styles.

Join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, January 10 from 6 to 8 pm to mingle with the artists and purchase unique works of art.
