Argyle Fine Art – 1869 Upper Water Street, http://www.argylefa.com/
We encourage you to take a stroll down to the historic properties and discover the diverse and inspiring array of work at Argyle Fine Art. Two current exhibits for May include:
All Around Us: New Paintings by Shelley Mitchell. Shelley has created a suite of works that explores the beauty that is “all around us”, and that sometimes we take it for granted. Crashing waves below or a quiet inlet at dusk…
The Static Garden: A Ceramic World created by Marla Benton. Marla has brought the world of the garden inside the gallery…Perfect timing as we’ll all want to get in our own gardens soon enough.
Thanks!
Tracy and the Hub Team
