On Friday April 1, from 7 - 9:30 pm,
The Center on Halsted invites you to
an Art Opening Reception and Fundraiser
showcasing artwork by guest artists
Jason Messinger and Armando Pedroso.
Jason Messinger will be showcasing over one dozen of his ink and watercolor paintings in the Third Floor Gallery.
Inspired by Sumi-ink traditions and the caligraphic line, painted on cold-pressed heavy-weight watercolor paper and framed behind glass, most paintings are 24" x 32"in size.
A portion of the sale of all artwork sold goes to help support continuing cultural programming at the Center on Halsted. Priced to appeal to both beginning collectors, and the savvy seasoned art collector, Jason Messinger's artwork has been reduced from the artist's internationally listed prices on his web site, to encourage support for the Center.
The Center on Halsted is a community center for youth and adults in Chicago's LGBT communities. The Center's mission is to serves as a catalyst for the LGBT community that links and provides community resources, and enriches life experiences in a safe and nurturing environment.
Dual receptions for both Messinger and Pedroso will take place on both the Second and Third Floor Galleries. There is a suggested $5 donation to help support the Center On Halsted's programming, and a cash bar.
