Juried by Raye Leith
through December 1

Artistic Vision: Redefining the Picture Frame
Curated by William Adair
through November 29

We have three new exhibits this month at The Art League, including one that’s a bit different from our usual fare.

“Redefining the Frame”
“Redefining the Picture Frame”

“Artistic Vision: Redefining the Picture Frame” is curated by frame restorer, gilder, and general expert William Adair. It’s all about the relationship artists have with the frames that support, protect, and enhance their artwork.

And it’s interactive, too! You can try gilding (or covering in gold leaf) this partially finished frame:

And what are these art supplies for? Well, you can gild and graffiti a special door for a project of William Adair’s. (More details on that later.)

Since it’s November, our other exhibit is celebrating large-scale work, small-scale work, and nothing in between. It’s called “Mini MAX,” and it’s incredible!
