Sizzle

Gallery Concord’s Summer Show, “Sizzle”, arrives with an opening reception Friday, July 10th, 6-8PM featuring a Native American evening showcasing Bob Brown’s Native American Flute Music and invited guest artist, Timothy James Aguino’s (aka Oye-Tseda) images and symbols of his Native American Hopi (Tewa) roots created in mixed medium.

But this will only be a part of the art being showcased. Each quarter Gallery Concord features a member artist so they can share a full body of their work. Castro Valley artist, Marge Barta Atkins, who is our featured artist during the summer show, “Sizzle”, feels that art offers freedom. She shows freedom in her wiliness to work from ultra realistic florals to abstracts on the experimental papers like Yupo and Tyvek. She uses a range of mediums from traditional watercolor, to hydrus liquid watercolor, acrylics, and collage. Atkins exhibits with a variety of local art groups from City Arts Gallery Hayward to the Marin Society of Artists. Currently she has a solo show at the Contra Costa Law Library as well as here at Gallery concord.

As well as welcoming Michael Rizza, sculptor, we must not forget to mention the CWA members Juried show and of course our members group show.

A posthumous show and sale of work by Karen Mason will be displayed at Gallery Concord. Karen was a beloved member of CWA who passed away in Feburary 2008. She is recognized as the founding member of Gallery Concord and the Outreach program and was the first director of both. Karen was also a past president of CWA. She always gave generously of her time and talent to benefit that organization.
