(7 Mar 2019 - 23 Mar 2019) | | | |
‘Open
House’ on the Thursday-Night-Feature of March 7th
On Thursday March 7th Readytex Art
Gallery presents her third Thursday-Night-Feature (TNF) for the year 2019. On
the schedule this month, is a more casual and relaxing ‘Open House’ feature. So
no special speakers or presentations this time around, but just a nice evening
to truly enjoy beautiful art and good company. And the team of Readytex Art
Gallery did indeed, as they always do, take great care to install a beautiful and
diverse collection of art throughout the entire gallery.
For this ‘Open House’, the collection
displayed on the ground floor of the gallery is inspired by the upcoming Phagwa
holiday. This colorful holiday, an important part of the Hindustani culture, is
after all enjoyed by almost everybody in our inclusive, multi-cultural Surinamese
society. And although the art displayed in this space is not literally about Phagwa,
the collection, which consists mainly of abstract and colorful art works, does make
a beautiful, artistic link. Throughout the rest of the gallery you will be able
to, as always, enjoy a diverse collection of art works from all 19 artists
affiliated with the gallery. Each artist has his or her own spot in the space,
and such an ‘Open House’ event is the ideal opportunity to take the time to
really look at, and enjoy all that they have to offer.
Readytex Art Gallery invites all to join us
at this ‘Open House’ at the TNF of Thursday March 7th. A pleasant
evening filled with inspirational art and stimulating conversations for artists
and art lovers alike! The doors of Readytex Art Gallery are open from 7:00 –
9:00 pm on this evening.
You are welcome!
