Opening at the Staunton Augusta Art Center

saaclogoThe Staunton Augusta Art Center invites its members and the general public to the reception to celebrate the opening of a new exhibition Evolving Vessels: Throwing from the Inside Out, ceramic works by Wendy Werstlein.

The reception Friday evening, April 12, 5-7pm, in the Staunton Augusta Art Center galleries (in the R. R. Smith Center for History and Art at 20 S. New Street in historic downtown Staunton) offers the opportunity to meet and visit with the artist.    Wendy was the Best in Show Winner at Art in the Park at Gypsy Hill last year.  A former biology teacher from Asheville and currently living in Floyd, Virginia, Wendy is now a full-time studio artist.  Her artist statement, attached, reveals a substantive philosophy which she incorporates into her functional pottery.

The exhibit will be up through May 23.  Regular gallery hours are 10am-5pm Monday-Friday and 10am-4pm Saturday.    An image of the artist’s work is attached.  There is no charge to visit the galleries or to attend the reception.  The exhibited works will be available for sale.  For more information, please call the Staunton Augusta Art Center at 540-885-2028.
