The artists behind Carnival are bringing an intimate indoor garden to Longue Vue just in time to escape the summer heat! The exhibit will be on display from June 7 through June 30 with an opening reception on Thursday, June 9, 2016 from 5 to 7 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served at the opening while they last.
Featured artists including Dana Beuhler and Brian Bush will be present at the opening to answer questions on their work, and the mission of the Carnival Collective. The exhibition will showcase a collection of the artists authentic Carnival-inspired pieces including elegant float-scale flowers and winged creatures that will hang from the walls and ceiling creating an enchanting indoor garden.
All works will be available for purchase throughout the exhibition. Prices range dependent upon size of the piece and artist, and will be available upon request. Guests who purchase art will be asked to pick up their pieces during the final week of the exhibit. Sales will benefit the Carnival Collective artists, and a percentage will go toward providing support to Longue Vue’s educational and civic endeavors in the community.
The exhibition will be open daily during Longue Vue’s hours Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. In addition, the community is invited to view the exhibit at the opening reception and during upcoming special events at Longue Vue including Family Equality Day on June 12.
