FÊTE
Claire Elizabeth Gallery is pleased to present “Fête”, an exhibition to mark our gallery’s tenth anniversary. This curated collection includes paintings, photographs, and works on paper that exude color. Color exists everywhere - in nature, in urban design, in an artist’s studio as pigment, or even manufactured for visual association. Color can serve as a form of human connection that affects mood, emotion, and well-being.
“Fête” is an ode to color as a symbol of joy and finding light amongst darkness. The exhibition features work by Ashleigh Coleman, Diane Kilgore Condon, Ben Depp, Ida Floreak, Carlos Gamez de Francisco, Emery Gluck, Rosemary Goodell, and Marcy Palmer. In honor of our anniversary, we will also share how long we have worked with each artist and what sets their work apart. The exhibition will be on view April 2nd to May 11th. For inquiries or commission requests, please, email us at claire@claireelizabethgallery.com.
