CALUMET -- Once again Calumet art galleries and studios will welcome the public for the First Friday art tour TOMORROW evening, Sept. 5. Check out the new exhibits for September and enjoy artist receptions, refreshments and activities.
Paige Wiard Gallery
The Paige Wiard Gallery will host an opening reception from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5, for artist Sharon Schmeltzer. With an exploration of color and its subtleties, Schmeltzer's art work expands from a nonobjective abstract focus to what she refers to as surrealistic art.
Sharon’s colors seem to glow with warmth or transmit an almost eerie chill. Viewers will find themselves feeling and reflecting, as much as looking through the layers of emotions swirling through the paintings.
The Paige Wiard Gallery is at 109 Fifth Street, Calumet. Please call 906-337-5970 or email paigewiardgallery@gmail.com for answers to any questions.
