Oil by Sheri Alimonda
New Member of Contemporary Art Gallery Online
Well, I’m happy to share that I am now a member of the
Crooked Tree Arts Center staff in Petoskey, Michigan J I work at the front desk so I
have a front row seat to all the visiting patrons, artists, and works of art
that come through our doors! So far I’ve worked there for three days, and
already I’ve met wonderful board members, watched a speed painter, and become
as well versed as possible in the upcoming events. The biggest event of the
season is the Oil Painters of America Summer Salon 2013, AKA OPA. This
exhibition runs from June 20 to August 31, and will showcase over 370 oil
paintings by artists from all over the country. All of these paintings will be
arriving this week, which means close to 400 works of art will be passing by my
desk! Oh, the joy of working at an arts center! Even though I spend most of my
time answering the phones, I greatly enjoy the fact that I am surrounded by art
at my place of employment. If you’re interested in learning more about OPA, or
if you yourself will be in the Northern Michigan area this summer, check out www.crookedtree.org for more information
regarding events, exhibits, lectures, performances, and more! Stay tuned for
more art news from the Northern Michigan front!
