In Vernal Vibes, an all-members exhibit in the Founders’ Gallery, members of the Canton Artists’ Guild imaginatively explore diverse aspects of the meaning of vernal (of, relating to or pertaining to spring).  The work will range from realism to abstraction and include landscapes, portraits, still lives, non-objective compositions as well as a variety of three dimensional sculptures.  Come see these compelling takes on Vernal Vibes in prints, drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures, ceramics, collages and fiber art.
In the upstairs galleries are two solo shows; a retrospective in memoriam honors the legacy of Lilijean H. Metcalf, a Connecticut artist who painted primarily in watercolor in the Upstairs Gallery, and in the Spotlight gallery, an exhibit illustrating the collaborative relationship of an artist couple, Sarah and Terrance Regan including paintings and ceramic vessels by Sarah and mixed media works by Terrance.
The Lilijean H. Metcalf Memorial Exhibit, in the Upstairs Gallery, is a retrospective honoring the legacy of a Connecticut artist who painted primarily in watercolor but with an intensity and depth of feeling one does not expect to find in this medium. Her carefully drafted realist landscapes and portrait paintings, often rendered in quiet, somber palettes, carry a gentle yet powerful sense of yearning and critics described her work as possessing “an unusual humanist quality.”
