BPA Gallery First Friday Art Walk to Take Place in April

Join us in the BPA Gallery April 3 for an enjoyable evening of art and friends. The Oxford English dictionary describes collage as 'A kind of surrealist art in which bits of flat objects, as newspapers, cloth, pressed flowers, etc. are pasted together in incongruous relationship for their symbolic or suggestive effect.' Just as memories are made up of disparate pieces, Wendy Brown's collages reflect an array of elements ranging from photos, to mementos, a cherished piece of ribbon, an old postcard, and buttons or beads. Drawing from items close to the heart, she hopes viewers will resonate with a pleasant memory, a dear friend or relative, or significant events in their lives.The exhibit continues through April 27 in the BPA Gallery.
