Dear Artists and Patrons -

Due to urgent HVAC replacement, our 25th Anniversary Exhibition will be closing one week early! We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience but believe it’s the best solution to ensure our staff and artwork remain safe from extreme temperatures in the future! The gallery will remain closed from March 2 through March 19 for this much needed upgrade - just in time for our next opening reception on March 20. Thank you for understanding!

-The Alliance Gallery Team

🏆 2nd Place in our 25th Anniversary of the Alliance Member Juried Exhibition!

Jessica Mickey, Sensory Overload (Oil) - $1100

This is one of the most complex oil paintings the artist has completed to date. It captures almost everything she loves about photorealist painting - vibrant color, the interplay of light and dark, movement, sensation, and the feeling of being there in the moment.

Stop by now through March 1 to check this out in person!

🏆 1st Place in our 25th Anniversary of the Alliance Member Juried Show!

Elisabeth Hudgins, Ocean Wave (Acrylic) - $400

At the ocean, the artist observes the movement of water in waves. The crashing energy is relentless and timeless, but unique in each wave that washes onto the shore. Working intuitively, the artist focuses on interpreting the feelings that she gets from observation. Her process captures the movement of water across the surface of the paper. A brush is rarely used - instead the paint is allowed to flow as though it were a wave itself.

Stop in to see this work & many others at Alliance Gallery - now through March 1.
