Join us for the grand opening of the Artoberfest Exhibition Friday, September 13, 2024 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The theme of the exhibit is all things Halloween and Autumn, and the exhibition dates are September 14 through November 9. The show will feature local artists’ individual takes on the theme from macabre & spooky to beautiful Autumn in New England. Many varied mediums will be on display: paintings, drawings, collage, assemblage, photography, etc.
My artwork which has been juried into the exhibition is titled Salem Willows Closing Time. It is an acrylic painting on gallery wrapped canvas, 11″ x 14″ x 1.5″ deep. I love Salem Willows! In the daytime, it is a lovely place to enjoy the beaches and gorgeous ocean views. And, of course, the Arcades are full of fun for all ages. I created this painting from a night time photograph I took because I like the way the colorful lights glow in the evening, giving the place a more mysterious look than in the daytime. I believe the colors lend themselves to the Halloween theme, and October is closing time for The Willows, not just for the evening, but until the following springtime.
The deep canvas makes the artwork very light and gives you the chance to hang it anywhere without the need for a stud. It also makes the painting less expensive, while still offering you the option of choosing your own frame according to your taste if you wish.
Salem Arts Association is located at 159 Derby Street, Salem, MA 01970. There is plenty of parking at the public garage nearby! I hope you will take the opportunity to also visit our wonderful Gallery Shop while you are at the exhibit
