The opening reception will be held Friday, January 29, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. East End Arts members have been invited to submit one work of art for guaranteed inclusion in this show. The Annual Members’ Show provides the opportunity for all member artists to show their work to the public. The show will run from the opening through March 4, 2016.

East End Arts Gallery Director Jane Kirkwood encourages artists: "When inspiration comes from your imagination, your dreams, your emotions, or just from fun playing with form, the results can be quite enchanting. A made up landscape or person (figurative or abstract) is guaranteed to be unique." For more information about this exhibition, visit online.
