Gallery One this week announced the theme for their May show, âOpening.â The show will be open to the public April 28 through June 1.
âItâs May at Gallery One, and our artists are thinking about âOpenings,ââ representatives said. âThis seems very appropriate, with winter finally releasing its grip, allowing an opening for spring and summer, our country slowly but surely re-opening, doors and windows and flower buds, and hearts opening to new possibilities. An âOpeningâ is a favorable combination of circumstances, time and place, and this month is surely that opportunity at Gallery One.â

Gallery One in Ocean View announced its Winter Quiet exhibit will be open to the public from Thursday, Jan. 7 to Wednesday, March 3.
Winter’s silence brings the inner quiet that speaks beyond normal words. This month’s theme at Gallery One transports viewers to that place of introspection and peacefulness.
Artists were inspired primarily by the local landscape enveloped in winter’s touch but also by those activities only winter brings.
Scott Broadfoot’s oil painting, “Ice Skaters,” illustrates this perfectly. “In winter, skaters can be found on virtually any frozen body of water. We have small ponds, lakes, back bays, all of which attract anyone with a pair of skates. If you live near one, on a quiet evening you may hear the sound of steel blades cutting the ice as a figure eight is attempted,” he said.
