Macon Arts Alliance invites you to “Discover” this holiday season. Unearth something new; find a fresh voice; allow your eyes to be surprised. Exploration of eighteen artists begins on First Friday, December 4 with a reception from 5-8 p.m. Works of art will be on display through December 31. Admission is always free and open to the public.
“The December exhibit is an amazing opportunity to provide a kaleidoscope of work, both for gift giving purposes and to promote a wide variety of artists,” states Director of Programming and gallery curator, Stephanie Fritz. “It’s a tradition that has organically evolved over the years, allowing for discovery in it’s purest form to take place.”
Charles Wells will be making custom glass blown ornaments on site at First Friday. Those who visit the gallery can select colors for their ornaments and have them made by Wells that night. “Live glassblowing is very dynamic and fascinating to watch. It generates a lot of excitement,” proclaims Wells.
In addition to glass blowing, the exhibit will feature the following artists: jewelry by Nancy Barnes; jewelry, ornaments, and mugs by Lauren Bausch; paintings by Lauren Betty; paintings by Sharon Clabo; jewelry and crafts by Alicia David; duck decoys by Matt Defore; earrings by Jerry & Linda Hunter; mixed media by Narinder & Sneh Khosla; ceramics by Michael Klapthor; wood work by Kevin & Cheryl Raber; photography and mixed media by Suzanne Rogers; river bowls by Mark Strozier; paintings by Martha
