Current Harrington Gallery Exhibit

Road Trip – Allied Arts West – Poetry by the Monday Night Poets – June 11 – August 13, 2022

Different people will bring home different memories from the same trip. For one traveler, it is the car they drove in, the view out the window, or the people they met.  For another, it is what they brought home, whether that be an abstract mental image or a cluster of picked flowers.

At the conception of the exhibition, the award-winning professional artists of Allied Artists West were given the theme, “road trip,” and each took off on their individual interpretive journeys. Thus, the show is a collection of different media and varying interpretations of what a road trip might inspire. Most artworks are accompanied by poems complimenting the visual piece and were written by The Monday Night Poets, a local writers’ group.

The Harrington Gallery is pleased to present its upcoming show, “Road Trip,” with Santa Clara County-based group, Allied Artists West (AAW). The exhibition will be open from June 11 to August 13, 2022, with the reception on its opening day, June 11, 2022. This will be the group’s second showing at the Harrington Gallery and will feature works by the professional collective of award-winning and nationally renown artists.

Award Winning South African Floral Photographer, Vanessa Thomas, is showing at the Firehouse Arts Center on the Nancy Thompson Memorial / PAL Wall from July 23 – Sept 3.

 

Venessa explains her work – “Flowers are my passion and photography provides the ideal window on their world. Expect to see digital artworks focusing on subject matter drawn from nature with all its rich and vibrant hues and experience floral feel-good moments. My objective is to practice mindfulness and capture the beauty and wonder that I see then share it to bring moments of joy, gratitude and calm to others. Uplifting encouragement based on my mantra “Think. Act. Persevere.” is at the core of my work and I wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea that life is #BetterWithFlowers !”

California Votes – August 16 – October 8 – Despite California’s influence on our nation’s politics, voter turnout in California falls below the national average. While the political focus is usually at the federal and state levels, local political issues have a greater impact on our everyday lives. In both English and Spanish, California Votes: Exercise Your Right! breaks down the importance of voting, demystifies referendums and ballot measures, highlights political ephemera in your collection, and encourages your visitors to make their voices heard on the local, state, and national levels.
