COLLABORATION

Rocky Neck Gallery introduces a delightful eye-catching postcard to celebrate and promote the gallery's talented artists for the 2012 season.  This postcard, designed by RNG's artists Susan Hershey and Judy Robinson-Cox, is 5 x 7 in size and features the work of three RNG artists.  The front has the watercolor painting Curious Koi by Kathleen Staab, a new gallery member; Saturn earrings of sterling silver and 14K gold designed by new member Deborah Way; and the Seafossil Vessel by Cynthia Curtis. 

The back of the postcard lists all the artist members who will be exhibiting their fine arts this summer.  It also lists the location, hours, essential links and the Summer Artist Series scheduled shows.  The postcard will be available soon for those members wanting to invite their fans to Rocky Neck Gallery (please note each member must include postage on their postcard mailings).  RNG will also be sending this to all the friends, fans and special customers who have supported this gallery each summer. 

This will be an exciting new season with a new look in the gallery, new artists and a diverse collection of unique works in ceramics, jewelry, photography, painting, fine furniture, collage/mixed media, sculpture and printmaking. And it all starts on opening day, Thursday, June 7th, 2012.

The walls and shelving look fresh with applications of bright white paint while the layout is revised for better traffic flow and viewing of the art to come.
