“LABORS OF LOVE”: The winter exhibition at Stuart Country Day School, featuring a diverse group of local artists, will be on view January 24 through March 3. An opening reception is on January 24 from 2:30 to 4 p.m.
“Labors of Love,” the winter exhibition coming to Stuart Country Day School, features a diverse group of local artists including Nancy Pirone Tamasi, Dr. Ronah Harris, April Zay, Piroska Toth, and Libby Ramage. Representing a broad spectrum of disciplines — from traditional ceramics and textiles to innovative fiber art and painting — the artists continue to push the boundaries of their chosen mediums.
The artists are a rich blend of educators, technologists, and fine artists who have presented workshops at Stuart’s annual Middle School World Arts Day led by artist and educator Phyllis Wright. It is a day when professional artists, musicians, actors, and dancers share their experience while teaching others.
The public is invited to view “Labors of Love” in Stuart’s Considine Gallery from January 24 through March 3. An opening reception will be held on January 24 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, when school is in session.
