“Cliffside” by Featured Artist, Lee Passerella

 

 

 

Last March, 2020, the Artists of Palm Beach County hoped to begin their season with one exhibit after another in the ArtWorks Gallery. The membership exhibit opened on March 6, 2020 to an extremely receptive, huge crowd. Less than two weeks later the Covid-19 shutdown began and ended exhibitions for the rest of the year.

 

 

As a result, the organization is delighted to have another opportunity with the  “STARTING AGAIN” juried exhibition. A call went out to the membership for submissions of original work of any subject in all media, 2D or 3D. ArtWorks Gallery is a fabulous place to show off this talented group of artists.

 

 

Last year the Judge for Awards, famed Palm Beach artist Sandra Thompson, did such an excellent job, that the group is thrilled that she has agreed to be Judge again. Sandra currently has a SOLO exhibit at the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, 601 Lake Avenue, Lake Worth, which runs through March 12, 2021.

Ed Muñoz tells The Rickie Report, “It is a very special privilege for me to share my photography with all who attend. I have so enjoyed my travels and chronicling the wonders and beauty of our planet. I was especially moved by my visit to Antarctica. It is a place like no other on Earth.

 

 

“Passage” by Ed Muñoz

He goes on to say, “But even there, the effects of climate change are starting to cause serious challenges to the wildlife. I invite all to come and enjoy the images of the planet we all share. A place we must strive to keep healthy; because if we don’t it will not only be the wildlife that suffers… do not ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee”.
