New Exhibit coming quickly!


Be sure to visit during our opening reception for the next exhibit at Framations. Meet the artists and get a chance to ask all of those burning questions we know you'll have. Here's your chance.

Mark your Calendar for the Spring ArtWalk!


Plan for the Spring ArtWalk, April 27-29 on Main Street in St. Charles. Click on the image to visit the website of the the St. Charles Riverfront Arts and see a listing of all the artists who will have work on display on the street during the ArtWalk.


Serena Boschert's new ceramics

Serena Boschert recently added three new ceramic pieces. Her handpainted embellishments add extraordinary texture and interest to the form.



Tapestry



Tapestry by Sarah Merideth was added recently. It is currently the largest piece hanging at Framations at 57 1/2" wide by 79" tall. It is a whole cloth piece created through several stages of dye and discharge.

Current Peoples Choice





During the Gateway Pastel Artists exhibit in February, our Peoples' Choice winner was Warm Heart by Jeannine Johnston. The piece is on display through April 8.

New work by JR Seymour


As always, JR Seymour delivers work that is strikingly bright and colorful with as much depth and layering as ever. His work demands a closer look.
Purchase a ticket for Patron's Preference before the ArtWalk! Tickets are $100.00 each and are limited to the number of artwork donated for the event. Therefore, each ticket holder, will go home with a piece of art valued at $250 or more.

During the three-day Spring ArtWalk, visit the various venues and look at the pieces of art that have been donated for Patron's Preference; they will be clearly marked. Make a list of at least half of the pieces in your order of preference. You might be lucky and be the first name drawn, or you may be the last! At the close of the event on Sunday, April 29, at 3:00 pm, come to the Foundry Art Centre to attend the drawing. Names will be drawn at random and pieces of artwork will be chosen on the spot! If you purchase a ticket, you will be guaranteed one piece of artwork.

One showing the exterior, one is Serena Boschert's Egyptian Vase, the other is a print of Linda Wilmes' Historical St. Charles, which is also an exterior ceiling mural at Framations.

Opening Reception Saturday


Catherine Mahoney's oil addition

Come in to see Catherine Mahoney's
addition to her display, a beach scene in oil.

New Painting by Linda Smith


Pink On Monroe is part of a series by Linda Smith on scenes in Chicago. Forgive my photo (all of them, actually!) it doesn't do justice to the colors in this rich oil painting, size 24" x 18" plus a nice wide black frame.
