The Rocky Neck Art Colony (RNAC) has announced the launch of its dedicated online exhibition website, www.RNACexhibitions.com.
Fittingly, the first show online is BEYOND LIKENESS, a juried exhibition concentrating on faces. The works in BEYOND LIKENESS examine the genre of portraiture with traditional renditions and dramatic self-portraits in oil paint, watercolor, color pencil, charcoal, Polaroid emulsion and more. Viewers may recognize a subject or two!
A virtual opening reception with curator Amy Sudarsky will be held June 7, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m., in the comfort of your home via Zoom. For information on how to attend, visit www.RNACExhibitions.com. In addition, juror Amy Sudarsky will teach an online class on portraiture, June 15 through June 25. For details on the class, visit www.RNACWorkshops.art.
