During the month of September, In-Town Gallery features “Fabric of Our Lives,” a showing of oil paintings by Gay Arthur that examines how we weave a portrait of ourselves in the simple items we use in our everyday lives. Seemingly ordinary things such as jeans, an apron, or an old pair of work boots tell much about our past and who we are as people. In her paintings the artist seeks to dramatically present and explore this idea in paint. Arthur’s work will be on display for the month of September with an opening reception Friday, September 7th, 5-8 pm. In-Town Gallery, located at 26A Frazier Avenue, offers contemporary art and fine craft by 34 local and regional artists.
