Visit the Twin Galleries
And You Will Be “Bedazzled”

Since the new show opened April 27 those who have visited the Twin Galleries have been “Bedazzled”. The juried glass artists have brought their best fused glass and other types of jewelry, fused glass wall pockets, stained glass night lights and lamps, stained glass windows and wall hangings, hand blown glass paperweights, vases, plates,bowls and vessels, and other glass trimmed art items.

“Bedazzled” will continue through June 10. During this show Lee Brantley, vice president and general manager of WTVM-TV in Columbus, GA, will have his award-winning photography on exhibit as our hallway invitational artist.

Also in this show are functional and decorative pieces of clay art, pottery, jewelry, fiber art, numerous paintings, a variety of wood turned, wood sculpture and wood furniture plus other forms of art.

There is never an admission charge to enjoy the twin galleries. You will be amazed to see the art on exhibit which is also for sale. This is the perfect place to find just the right affordably priced gift for a friend, family member, or yourself.

The Center Gallery and Gallery Too host seven themed art exhibits annually which feature art created by local artists who live within a 50-mile radius of the Center. Come visit the galleries to see the wide selection of art on display created by your neighbors.

His responsibility is to accept only 90 paintings for the exhibition.

The final juried paintings will be on display at SNCA in the main hallways and in the conference room beginning June 9th and extending through July 8th.
