Art IN Sight
August 18, 2008
Paintings in oils and acrylics, nature scenes done in Motawi tiles,
bronze sculptures of dance and even some eye-popping quilt art are
on display at the Ann Arbor Area Chamber of Commerce. You will have
a tough time picking out your favorite at this latest display in
the rotating art show. All the works are done by local
artists, bringing not only beauty but an often-inspiring sense of
creativity.
This remarkable display is not just for Chamber staff, but
it's for the general public as well. So plan to drop by soon and
return often. A whole new collection will be hung on the Chamber's
walls every six to nine weeks.
The art in these showings also may be purchased. And some of
the pieces are quite reasonable. It almost goes without saying that
an original work of art, whether large or small, is a major step up
from that poster that's been hanging on your wall. For example, one
quilt in this show features a map of Ann Arbor. Now imagine a
quilted map of the city that highlights points of interest for your
business or for someone you love. You could commission such a
quilt. Here is a gift that could hardly be more original, or
personal.
The general public is invited to stroll through the Chamber's
halls weekdays any time between 9am and 5pm.
If your business is interested in purchasing art or
participating in the Art IN Sight program, contact
