Rivet in collaboration with Igloo Letterpress welcomes back the second annual group exhibition Be My Valentine. Channeling the days of Valentine greetings being handed out at elementary school, the nervousness of silly little crushes and fears of rejections past. This is a modern-day twist on the little Valentine square. 40+ artists (local, national and international) were given a 4in x 5in one-sided card to create their Valentine. Whether your heartstrings are of song or scorn, you'll be sure to find one that meets your heart's desire. An opening reception will be held tomorrow Saturday, February 7 from 7-10pm with some artists in attendance. Enjoy a special soundtrack of music, sweet treats, tasty libations compliments of The Actual Brewing Company and amazing artwork. If you are in the area, please stop by.
This December we will celebrate our 3rd Year Anniversary with a special exhibition featuring works of art by some of gallery's most promising local and international artists. Throughout these 3 years, we have hosted 28 exhibitions and 7 events at our gallery location in Pasadena. We would like to thank all the artists, collectors and friends for contributing to the success of our first 3 years! We look forward to many, many more! Each participating artist has been carefully hand selected and asked to create artwork specifically for this exhibition. Whether it’s the immaculately rendered and delightfully whimsical work of note illustrator C.F. Payne, or the incredibly executed and slightly ironic oil paintings of artist Chelsea Gustaffson, each piece in this exhibition is sure to delight. Artist Chelsea Gustaffson says of her piece for the show, “My piece focuses on the beauty of a single waratah flower. It’s head and collar of leaves are almost dragon like, rising proud and powerful. The Latin word, effloresco (to bloom, to flourish), is juxtaposed with a contemporary acronym (FTW - for the win) intended to provide a bit of a tongue in cheek reminder that yes, it is important to aspire to be our best and it is equally important to keep a sense of humor and not take Oneself too seriously.”
