"Fashion Becomes Art" is an opportunity to see the unique vision of this multi-disiplinary artist. Valerie uses the art of screen printing as a bridge between art and craft by applying her designs not only to paper, but many other surfaces, most noteably clothing.

.

"In my designs on both fabric and paper, I continue to be inspired by my love of sewing, music, vintage fashion and culture, and the low brow art movement. All of these combined have brought me great pleasure in allowing people to express themselves through what they wear and carry my art on their sleeves. "

Join us on First Friday March 5th for the opening reception, from 6-9pm.

This exhibit will run from March 2nd to 27th.

A Look Back at 2009

Gallery IS presents a retrospective by local artists Erika Schulz and Jeri-Lynn Ing.

"Deja-view: A Year Of Artwork" is a look back on Erika and Jeri-Lynn's One-A-Day challenge in 2009. Both artists completed one piece of artwork every day in 2009, and this exhibit will be a commentary on the experience, and also a comparison featuring works from the first and last months of the project.

There are never before seen pieces, as well as familiar works. Be sure to make Gallery IS a destination in February.

This exhibit will run from Feb 2 to 27th.
Opening reception will be on First Friday, Feb 5th from 6-9pm.
Everyone is welcome.

Visitors will also be able to preview the exciting 2010 projects, in progress in our artist studios.
