Lupina Haney, The Maine House
Twenty-four artists in all media are exhibiting in the gallery at the Jewish Cultural Center, 5461 North Terrace Road until Aug. 1.
Work from many local favorites Brent Sander, Lupina Poi Haney, Mark Issenberg, Howard Kaplan, Ellen Simak and Bob Fazio among others are included. Works by French artists Theo Tobiasse and Joy Jourdet are among those on loan from local collectors.
“A sense of place is important to each of us," said Ann Treadwell, exhibit curator. "It is how we feel grounded or uplifted. Sometimes a place is a spiritual site, or a place where we sense history. Some places grab us because they are visually exciting or inspiring.”
There is no cost to attend. Gallery hours are Monday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. or by appointment. For more information visit www.jewishchattanooga.com or call (423) 493-0270.
