Wesley Art Gallery - Exhibitions

JANUARY 2008

Ever wonder what artists have in their attics?
Well, if they're like the rest of us, their attics are filled with forgotten things and remnants from their past. However, when artists go through life they create art as a part of that journey. Not every piece of art that they made fit with themes or exhibitions of the time. Thus, some truly amazing pieces of art never make it in front of an audience. In January, we will cover our walls from floor to ceiling with art from many of our past exhibiting artists. And as an added bonus, many of these pieces will be specially priced for our collectors and those interested in starting to collect.

FEBRUARY 2008

Love is an art that requires patience, care, and commitment. Visit the Wesley Art Gallery in February to see individual and collaborative works from area artists and art couples expressing love for others, the world around us, and definitely for their art.

MARCH 2008

It will be five years since U.S. and Allied forces entered into Iraq with hopes to establish an appropriate government there. The price we have been paying for this endeavor is the most extreme of all, over 3,990 [03/17/08] brave young lives and counting. Join Don Wesley as he presents the entire series of his memorial canvases depicting a bird for each U.S. soldier who has died in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. There are now five canvases in all; the latest still in progress. For more information about this series visit the U.S. Iraq Soldier Memorial.
