Gallery 55 First Saturday October Reception

Posted in Art, Gallery, Jewelry, Ceramics, Fiber Art, Event, Reception, Music, Sculpture on September 17, 2019|

“Reciprocation” by Michelle Grace

McCall’s fall landscapes reflect vividly in the waters of the Payette and seem to be in lively conversation with the “lifescapes” of our guest this month, painter Michelle Grace. Michelle’s passion is color, rendered with layers of acrylic paint. And you are sure to appreciate the emotional quality of the paintings. At our First Saturday reception on October 5th, you can see Michelle’s work and that of our newest member, painter and multi-media artist Gregory Gibboney. The reception will include live music by popular locals Annie Nie and Jeff Box playing their special blend of Americana and soft blues.

Meet the artists and view the art by over twenty regional artists at our First Saturday reception, October 5, 4-7 p.m., with live music, wine and appetizers.

Gallery Fifty-Five is a nonprofit artist cooperative.

When: Saturday, October 5, 4-7 pm.
Where: Gallery Fifty-Five, 311 E. Lake Street, McCall, Idaho
Admission: Free

“Overflow I” by Pam Grant

Our guest artist for the month of August is Pam Grant, an award-winning abstract painter in water-based media. Her colorful and flowing abstractions capture the essence of landscape, figure and object. Abstraction is also central to the art of our featured member Thea Belecz, who collages hand-dyed fabric shapes and representational images into mixed media works that reference the landscapes she loves. As a special treat, the Old West Trio will entertain us with cowboy harmonies and acoustic playing at our First Saturday reception.

Meet the artists and view the art by over twenty regional artists at our First Saturday reception, August 3, 4-8 p.m., with live music and complimentary wine and appetizers.
