ACWC Displays Local Color

  • By WENDY SCHREINER-

“Broken” is the theme for the Arts Council for Wyoming County’s 2021 “Local Color” Annual Members’ Exhibition

The exhibition opened on January 8th and runs through February 13th in the council’s Main Gallery at 31 S. Main Street in Perry, New York.

Out of the Ashes of 2020 by Carol Ann Ewert

Popular themes featured people, flowers and animals as well as pretty sceneries.  Several medias were used to create the artwork including acrylics, oils, charcoals, paper, beads, ceramic, pottery, wood and fiber among others.

The COVID-19 Pandemic theme was apparent in some of the works. There was a painting with four pigs with a roll of toilet paper in each of their mouths labeled, Piggy Piggy, you know who you are. Stealing toilet paper from near and far. Bad for us, shame on you. Do onto others is still so true.

Those attending the Local Color Exhibit will help to determine the “People’s Choice” winner when they visit between January 8 and February 13. An artist’s talk as well as a presentation of awards will take place from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm on February 26th at the closing reception. A hybrid reception and all social distancing protocols will be observed as a result of the current COVID-19 Pandemic.

Upstairs Gallery Hosts Rising Star exhibition

ACWC’s Rising Star Andrew Foster’s work can be found in the upstairs Members’ Gallery. Foster, a BFA graduate from Houghton College (December 2017) majored in Studio Art. He specializes in Ceramics. Along with a home studio, he is a member of Flower City Art Center where he fires and glazes his pottery.
