Splash! by Bess Haile.
On May 30th TAG will open a new exhibit with a reception from 5 to 7 pm. Twice a year the gallery hosts a special show of member artists' work based on a theme. This May the exhibit is titled Aqua e Aria, focusing on themes of water and air.
With so many different artists in the guild there are sure to be an array of subjects and mediums. Our own Rappahannock River is bound to be represented, but with all the rain we've had this month of May, who can tell how our artists have been inspired. You may find dripping umbrellas or puddle-splashing children on display as well. Spring song birds are still flitting through the air as they begin to feed their young, so don't be surprised if some of them manage to fly onto the canvases or into the photos of our artists.
TAG schedules its opening receptions to coordinate with Friday Date Night in Tappahannock, which is the last Friday of every month except December. You can begin your evening at 4:30 with wine tasting at Act XII Wine and Provisions. Once the courthouse clock strikes 5 you can stroll down historic Prince Street to indulge your artistic curiosity enjoying all the art on display while nibbling on light hors d'oeuvres. When your aesthetic hunger is satisfied, walk on around the corner to 1710 Tavern to enjoy a delicious meal, indoors or out on the patio, now that warm weather has arrived.
TAG is a 501c3 non-profit and is always ready to welcome both new artists and volunteers who would like to be part of the Tappahannock art scene in other ways. We are always glad to add to our team of docents and hosts for openings, be they artists or merely people who enjoy being inspired by art, chatting with others about art or just want to be a part of this lovely piece of Tappahannock culture. We look forward to seeing you on May 30th.
