First Tuesday Opening Reception, August 7, 6 to 8 p.m.

On Tuesday, August 7, from 6 to 8 p.m., O’Hanlon Center for the Arts will present an Open House and Reception for its August exhibit “Bay Area Women Artists,” a group show juried by gallery owner Donna Seager.  The show runs through August 29, 2012.   

“Bay Area Women Artists” will feature mixed media artwork with emphasis on exploration, abstraction, and imaginative use of materials and content.

Juror Donna Seager is co-owner of Seager Gray Gallery in Mill Valley, which has as its focus the rich continuous history of art in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Whether the spotlight is on figurative painting, ceramics, handmade artist books, abstraction or monumental sculpture, Donna’s commitment is to presenting the finest work possible in an atmosphere that gives focus and context to the presentation.

Also on August 7 from 4 to 6 p.m., the Center will host a Roundtable for the Arts dialogue, where the participating artists will discuss issues relating to their creative processes.  The Roundtable, a monthly event sponsored by the Center, is facilitated by painter, writer and O’Hanlon Center member Dr. Peller Marion. 

The opening show on August 7 is part of the Mill Valley Art Commission’s monthly Gallery Walk, First Tuesday.  The event is free of charge and open to all ages.  Artwork on display is available for purchase.  Proceeds from sales support local artists and the O’Hanlon Center as a non-profit organization.
