LANDSCAPES
OF THE SOUL by MAXIMO LAURA Maximo
Laura brings a unique and fresh worldview to the traditional Aubusson,
Kilim, Soumak and Anillado techniques. Working In 100% Andean alpaca,
llama, wool and cotton, Maestro Laura weaves a world that reflects his
personal as well as cultural views. His works are three-dimensional
representations of Andean mythological themes drawn from Peru's rich
history of pre-Colombian cultures such as the Incas and their modem
day descendants the Quechua Indians.

It's All About People and Their Pets @ Art Works
Each year Art Works partners with the art community to create a summer project and exhibit. In the past you've seen paint dropped from towers, paint blown by jet exhaust and last year we partnered with the Richmond SPCA and featured our four-legged friends - dogs and cats. This was so much fun and we raised over $1000 for the SPCA; we've decided to do it again. But wait there's more; join us for the annual Art Works Member and Residents' Exhibit. Visitors on opening night pick their 3 favorite pieces and the People's Choice Awards are presented at the end of the evening. Join us October 23rd. The reception starts at 7 p.m. with live music. Free and open to the public.
DOGmatic CATrastrophe - Canines and Felines at Art Works This juried-all-media show is strictly about dogs and cats. Half of all proceeds goes to the Richmond SPCA. In addition to the gallery walls of artwork featuring dogs and cats, Richmond artists exhibit for sale - one of a kind doggy kitty art items. These items will be auctioned off and the entire proceeds go to the Richmond SPCA. Guests are invited to bring their pet and let them enjoy the special PET BAR (last year sponsored by Three Dog Bakery in Richmond VA.) The RICHMOND SPCA TAIL WAG'N will be on the premises on opening night so you can visit with some canine and feline friends who need a new home. Admission to the event is free. The DOGmatic CATrastrophe art show is a juried show. Work is accepted by any artist, any medium and pertains to dogs and/or cats. Call for Entries is on August 21st and 22nd at Art Works.
The gallery talk and awards are presented at 7:30 at the opening reception.

A Glimpse of Peru @ Art Works!
Legends & Myths of the Amazon & Aandes of South America: Joan Louis, son of Juan Aponte, comes from Peru to bring us his paintings. "I seek to find unifying themes in diversity of colors in the same way as I strive to find unifying principles in the diversity of life." With numerous prestigious exhibits, this will be Louis' first showing in the United States."Abstract fields and shapes coexist with still-life and illustrative figures. The
rich earthy tones show a longing for the essential qualities of both real objects
and of nebulous ideas." Jane Sandelin Gallery.
