Gallery Opening Reception from 4-7pm: 

August Exhibition Opening in The Founders Gallery The Embodied Experience, abstract expressionism by Liz Carey. Another exhibition of abstract expressionism? If you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all, right? Don’t be so sure. Liz Carey’s exhibition, The Embodied Experience, is most certainly abstract expressionism, but she’s found a fresh take on the style. Liz says her pieces have a lot to say, being simultaneously big and powerful – and also soothing and peaceful. We’d say the pieces feel in motion. There’s an energy about them that is transcendent. Liz brings the use of negative space into her work in a way we haven’t seen before. This body of work demands to be seen. Opening from 4-7pm. Artist’s Talk, 6pm. Exhibition through August 28.
