Two day closing reception to celebrate the two simultaneous solo exhibits currently showing at Art Garden, by artists Harry Rivera and Onicas Gaddis.

Open house style, 11-5 on Friday, May 28th & Saturday, May 29th.
Art Garden AVL, 191 Lyman St, #316 + 320

Harry Rivera will be in the gallery on Friday, and Onicas Gaddis will be here on Saturday. Meet each artist and delve deeper into their works.

Harry Rivera’s solo exhibit, “My Ancestors Sent Me,” the inaugural show in our new main gallery, includes artworks spanning over 20 years exploring the artist’s connection to life both past and present. Thick with symbolism, as well as literal paint, these paintings breathe with an ancient and invigorating life of their own.

Onicas Gaddis has been curating our hall gallery for these first couple months, with a lively and ever-changing array of his Spiritual Expressionist paintings — if you’ve been here often, you may have seen as many as 5 different groupings of paintings on this wall over the past 7 weeks! He’ll be here Saturday, May 29th to discuss his process and vision. You can also catch him making magic in his studio in Art Garden upstairs most days of the week!

This is an especially cool closing to these two exhibits, as both artists are staying on as a part of Art Garden upstairs after their solo shows end. Onicas is in Studio #5, and Harry’s family business, Purple Lotus Gardens, has a full display upstairs as well, with Harry’s art prints available along with seeds, starts, loofas and more from their gardens.

Join us Friday and Saturday for a weekend of moving and uplifting art!

Art Garden is an artist-run gallery and plant paradise, featuring over 30 local artists on two floors, with 7 studios, 2 exhibit spaces, and an outdoor garden for gathering and growing.

~~~ We are still asking that people wear masks inside for a little while longer – several of our studio artists are still half-way to being fully vaccinated, and we know that many of you are still waiting on your second shot as well, so we are holding out a little longer. Let’s get all the way through this! ~~~
