The vibrant opening of the Green and Gray exhibition at the Tempe Center for the Arts was marvelously successful Friday evening. The attendance was impressively high and continued consistently through the three hour reception. Below enjoy some images from the opening and mark your calendars to attend, if possible, before the exhibition closes on January 2, 2016. We are most grateful for the amazingly hard and capable work of the entire staff at the Tempe Center for the Arts – it is a striking and wonderful exhibit. Participating artists include: Carol Alleman, Susan Beiner,Peter Bugg, Christine Casino, Angela Cazel-Jahn,Candace Eisenfeld, Steve Gomf, Preston Graves, Jonathan Howard, Mohammed Reza Javaheri, Karen Jilly, Catherine Nash and Ellen Wagener.
