August Exhibit

“Through the Years with Duane and Dorothy Searl”

On display August 1 - 27

An opening reception will be held Friday, Aug. 15 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Artists look at the world in their own way. Inside, they have a creative passion which causes them to express themselves in ways that enriches their own lives and the lives of others. Through art, an artist expresses his own emotions and shows the world how he views the world around him.

Local artists, Duane and Dorothy Searl had a lifelong love of art. Before his death, Duane was a well-known local artist and was chairman of The Lake Shore Artists Association. He was an Ashtabula Arts Center Trustee and a member of the exhibit committee. Duane was also a member of the national Wood Carvers Association and served on the Board of Trustees of the Ashtabula County Arts Council.

Also a member of Lake Shore Artists, Dorothy, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, began painting with watercolors while attending classes in Ashtabula and Hutchinson Island, Florida. In addition to her paintings, she created note cards from her collection of prints.

The collection on exhibit is a selection of the many works this long-married couple completed throughout their years together. The exhibit will include watercolors, wood carvings and oil paintings. Don’t miss this interesting look at life through the eyes of two talented long-time, local artists.

Gallery hours:
Mon, through Thurs. 9 a.m.-8 p.m.
Fri. and Sat. 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
The gallery is also open before all theatre performances and during intermission. Admission to the gallery is free.
