Gallery Artist Group Exhibition Fresh Air at Traver Gallery

  • Fresh Air is a group exhibition featuring ten artists: Clare Belfrage, Tom DeGroot, Alex Jordanov, Ross Richmond, Jane Rosen, Preston Singletary, April Surgent, Anne Traver, Merrill Wagner, and Jiro Yonezawa. These artists use diverse media, including glass, steel, paint, bamboo, and stone, yet they share a common focus: their artworks reflect, comment on, and commemorate the essential relationship between humans and the environment. In distinct ways, these ten artists create space for quiet contemplation; they remind us to look closely, consider our legacy, and be present; to step back, slow down and take a breath of fresh air.
