We have happily moved from one phenomenal, marathon show right to the next one. Coming out of MARY LIZ MEMORIAL MASTERS EXHIBITION 16, which enlivened our Wall from March to this month, we now embark upon ART IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS, which will elevate our sights until March 19, 2021. The inspiration comes thanks to the hand-drawn illustrations of NATALIE HOPE MCDONALD, tapping anew into icons and iconography, and the paintings of BOB GORCHOV, which never fail to intrigue, probe and spark our imagination. What we gain is a year of two of OFF THE WALL’s best shows ever! What we have sacrificed are important opportunities for others in our community to find their way to the Wall, including this year’s previously scheduled UNDER $100 juried exhibition. (We will post an official reminder tomorrow that the year-ending call for art is not going to happen.) But the most exciting news of all is that starting next Wednesday, September 30, this show’s official first day, we will be open to limited, spaced-out, shower-curtain-divided seating INSIDE. No, you can’t get near the art — sorry but that is why we're working on an online catalog! (probably coming the week of 10/5) — and you still have to order outside at the back door, but we are ready for the change in seasons. Meanwhile, Bob and Natalie will be here to see us through fall, winter and to the doorstep of next spring!
