“Color and Shape” exhibition through September 30th.

The show covers every aspect of art, textures, materials, and finishes, highlighting the quintessentially colorful fall season.

“Shape and Color, Fairweather’s September exhibition, would not be such a success without the beautiful work created by NW hands. The selected artists provided new work to highlight the annual fall show. We thank them all for the extraordinary opportunity to tell a seasonal story with their art. Truly, the artists offered new exceptional work, and by doing so, they encourage those of us in the arts to do more.” Fairweather Gallery
