The Town of Danville Presents New Art Exhibit “Imagine That”
An Eclectic Collection of Modern Abstract Paintings
The Village Theatre Art Gallery is pleased to host the painting group Beyond the Brush, which is comprised of local artists Jane Corich, Irene Desmond, Jan Foulds, Lynn Glenn, Judy Hirabayshi, Jo Ann Lieberman, Yolanda Mihic, Jeanie Moran, Q. Stone-Forbess, Ann Vestal and Roberta Welburn-Milstead. For this exhibit, titled Imagine That, the artists created paintings inspired by Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The exhibit will be on display from October 20 to December 16, 2022.
Beyond the Brush artists carry on the tradition of artists being inspired by artists. The all-women artist group, based in the East Bay, meets monthly to offer support for each other’s artistic growth through mentoring and collaborative critiques. The exhibit showcases paintings that are meant to be a convergence of the poem, the music, and the power of color, texture, and imagery of paint and a brush.
An artists’ opening reception will take place on Thursday, October 20 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Village Theatre Art Gallery located at 233 Front Street in Danville, CA. Music by Beethoven will be played to create mood and insight into the connection between the music and artwork. Complimentary refreshments will be served. There is no admission cost to attend, however donations are always appreciated. The event is open to the public.
