“Pears, Pairs and Pares”

The Gallery 96 Fall 2023 Art Exhibition in the Shoreview Community Center glass cases was called “Pears, Pairs & Pares”.

Thanks to a grant from the Shoreview Community Foundation, Gallery 96 is held 3 free Plein Air painting classes in the summer of 2023 led by locally recognized painter and board member Amy Clark. During the month of September, an exhibit of the paintings from the Plein Air classes was held in the glass casses in the Shoreview Community Center.

The ARTiculators meet every Monday morning from 10 to noon at the Shoreview Commuinty Center  Fireside Lounge to chat with each other and discuss new ideas in art. This is a great way to become acquainted with fellow artists, and work together on projects. No required attendance every week!

ARTiculators sessions are as good as attending class without grades – with chairs that are much more comfortable than the classroom type. Come join the group. It’s free, loose in structure, and ideas abound.
