The Contemporary Sublime: Asian-Inspired Landscapes

February 13- March 20

Sandra Small Gallery

Connected by a deep appreciation of nature and a "reductionist" technique, three Asian-American landscape artists will be on display at Sandra Small's Covington gallery. Somewhat abstract in nature, these works reflect both traditional Chinese and Japanese art and contemporary sensibilities. Watercolors, paintings, and drawings by two Cincinnati artists (Frank Satogata and Valerie Shesko) and one New York-based painter (Donald Holden) are featured.

Any Random Saturday Morning

Coffee and continental breakfast

Sandra Small Gallery

It is also certainly worth noting that every Saturday morning the gallery will feature coffee, continental breakfast and inspired art conversation with fellow art aficionados.

Friday Nights, Open Studio, and Friends Night Out and Created Illusions

Every Friday, 5-8 pm

Great Art, Wine and Cheese

2838 Observatory Ave.

This is a relatively new gallery with an eclectic array of work you couldn't necessarily find anywhere else. This is another place that is non-intimidating and is likely to appeal to the individual who doesn't want to look at scenes of death or controversial images. Its almost impossible to leave this gallery in a bad mood.

Open Studio Night

Final Wednesday of Every Month

$35 if you bring your own supplies, $50 including all supplies

Taught by Artist in Residence Andrea Frangiosa

This is an opportunity to paint and meet fellow artists. Instruction and supplies are available.

Friends Night Out

Anytime

Possibly the coolest thing is gallery does. On any given night, you can schedule your own customized class. It would be a fun way to get together with a group of friends and try something new. Supplies, drinks, and hors d'oeuvres are provided.
