BRISTOL — A number of artists in the area will be presenting their views on the subject of “Connections” in a group show at the WalkOver Gallery in Bristol. An opening reception for the show, which runs through June 28, is on Friday, May 24, from 5-7:30 p.m. at the gallery, 15 Main St.
Building on the self-portrait group show from a year ago, organizer and photographer Tom Pollak notes how important the idea of connections is to community, “especially now, at a time when the planet seems to be shrinking, with transportation networks, the internet and social media, it is important to give attention to local geography, neighbors and family.” The topic is intended to be wide open and meaningful to each participating artist.
Some of the artists represented are Laura Smith, Karla van Vliet, Kit Donnelly, John Moyers, Pete Sutherland, Jean Cherouny, Anneke Jewett, Molly Hawley, Pat Laffin, Lily Hinrichsen, Gillian McGarvey, Tom Pollak, Vera Ryersbach, Yinglei Zhang, Sarah Wesson and Patty LeBon Herb.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. and weekends by chance or appointment. For more information, call 453-3188, ext. 2.
