Get behind-the-scenes insight with “Show + Tell” Curator, Tess Feltes.
“Show & Tell,” in addition to introducing visitors to local artists, offers a peek into the process that illustrators use to create memorable and engaging works. Twenty talented artists were selected from New Hampshire, northern Massachusetts, and Maine. Each has a unique style, a significant body of work, and varied subject matter. Although their approaches differ, they each use the same “tricks of the trade”: color, line, shape, size, and composition. Just like language and grammar, these elements of design can be used in infinite ways.
Date: Wednesday, December 7
Time: 12-1 pm
Free Admission
No reservations required
