For Mothers Day: An Art Exhibit

Looking for something to do on Mother's Day weekend this year? Why not an art gallery? Why not an art exhibit about motherhood?

VALUE: WOMAN. ARTIST. MOTHER. opens Friday night, May 10 and includes works across a range of media--all from artists responding to their motherhood experiences. The exhibit features works from seventeen mothers, including grandmothers, young mothers, stepmothers, adoptive, and foster mothers.

Sounds cool, right? I know. Details:

The show is curated by Angela Colasanti and Tara Dolan, and exhibits work by Colasanti and Dolan (also mothers) and Linda Rohrbach-Austerberry, Mary Brady Begnardi, Debra Burkert, Stephanie Corfee, Rachel Blosser-Derstine, Elizabeth Flaherty, Juanita Gaspari, Deborah Hamburger, Peggy Lonjin Olley, Meredith Mustard, Darla Rodriguez, Patti Tinsman-Schaffer, Sarah Smith, Teresa Vadala and Elisabeth Walakovits.

Colasanti explains in a press release:

We sought to create a broad canvas of diverse motherhood experiences, as well as a wide range of artistic media.  As each artist was added, the common threads between their individual experiences emerged into a series of cohesive artistic themes, often centered on dual meanings of other art terms, such as balance, form or tone.

Should be a quite an exhibit.
It runs through June 15, 2013. Parking is on street and in a lot across the street. Studio B is located at 39A East Philadelphia Avenue, Boyertown, PA 19512 and open Thursday through Saturday 11am-3pm, and by appointment.  

Am I going? Sure as hell am. I'll definitely be there for the opening. I'm looking forward to seeing work by several of artists I know--and artists I don't. Check this blog next week to read my response to the exhibit and individual works. And, who knows? Perhaps some readers who visit the exhibit will share their comments.
