Join Duane Reed Gallery for the Opening Reception of their newest exhibition, Constructs of Meaning.

For many creatives, art is not simply a means of expression but also functions as a strategy for making sense of the world around them. These constructs of meaning provide the artist with an insight that is subjective yet transcendental, appealing to the narrative of personal experience while also reaching out to grasp further understanding. The selected artists in this exhibition all achieve this in a variety of ways, from Belinda Lee’s multi-layered paintings that convey complex systems to Benjamin Lowder’s process of drawing awareness to the geometry of the natural world.

This exhibition will feature works from exceptional local talent, including: Howard Jones, Stefanie Kirkland, Belinda Lee, Benjamin Lowder and Ethan Meyer, with special guest, Vicki Friedman.

A percentage of sales from Vicki Friedman’s work will be donated to Sharsheret Supports. Sharsheret Supports is a partnership between the national, not-for-profit Sharsheret organization and Nishmah at the JCC St. Louis. Sharsheret provides free support and educational programming to women and their families facing a diagnosis of breast or ovarian cancer, and to those at increased risk for developing a hereditary cancer. Sharsheret welcomes all individuals who reach out.
