An exhibit featuring women artists will open Aug. 15 at The Next Picture Show, 113 W. First St. The "I Am Woman" show, which runs through Sept. 16, will include artwork depicting women or objects related to women. "When we put our calendar together each year, we try to work in some new concepts. With this show, we wanted to feature work with themes ranging from jobs and childbearing to humor and friendships and much more," said Bonnie Kime, executive director of the gallery. "The art runs the spectrum from paintings in all mediums, photography, textiles/fiber, printmaking, graphic illustration, drawing and mixed media."The show is open to the public with an artists' reception from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Aug. 15. The public is invited to stop by and meet the artists. Pat Schaible, owner of Something Special at 123 W. First St., is the sponsor.
Artist Raphael Iaccarino will judge the show. He is an internationally known artist whose vivid watercolors are inspired by the Costa Rican rain forests and jungles. Iaccarino, whose work is exhibited in public and private collections worldwide, has spent years observing the primary subject of his inspiring work.
