On April 7, celebrate contemporary art in the Central West End with four gallery openings.

Spend an evening exploring all that McPherson Avenue has to offer — all galleries are within walking distance of some great CWE dining establishments, too!

Duane Reed Gallery

Featuring Nancy Newman Rice and Irina Zaytceva, two artists whose aesthetic vocabulary is fixated on intense levels of detail and craftsmanship. Utilizing mood rich color palettes and provocative, narrative focused concepts, their work demands attention and exploration.

Houska Gallery

Featuring Andrew Brandmeyer, Larry Torno, Zack Smithey and special guest artist Eric Wieringa.

Philip Slein Gallery

Featuring Valerie Jaudon’s “Stations and States” and Chuck Webster’s “Lands and Castles.”
