Opening Reception

The Dal Schindell Gallery invites you to both a reception on Thursday, June 29 from 4:30 to 6:30 pm for the opening of artist Cara Bain’s exhibition Surroundings, as well as to an Open House hosted by the artist on Saturday, July 22 from 2 to 4 pm.

About the Exhibition

Featuring figurative pieces of the human form alongside paintings of vibrant landscapes, artist Cara Bain's exhibition Surrounding illustrates how comfort can provide us with a sense of safety but may also cause us to withdraw from the world around us. A visual conversation between the human form and the natural world, the works inspire us to discover the beauty that lies within our comfort zones and just beyond them.

Cara will be hosting an Open House in the gallery on Saturday, July 22 from 2 to 4 pm. All are welcome.
