Event Details
Join us for an evening of art and wine as we host the critically acclaimed Nashville artist Dennis Greenwell and his newest work “Tragic Disclosures” along with art from the local Fringe Art Group of Tricities.
“Witnessing the treatment of LGBT youth in our society has compelled me to create art to confront the situation,” Greenwell said. “For these young people living a life of genuine self should be a basic human right.” “Tragic Disclosures: Proclaiming Quotes of Desperation” incorporate powerful statements on mixed media paintings as well as installation, photographs and video work.
To combine the last written words of a teen who took their life with art representing their emotion puts into perspective the real humanity of the situation. It starts a conversation of how can we reach out and show compassion and love for these kids.
The gallery will open at 7pm with artist Dennis Greenwell opening his exhibit and he will be available for discussion. 20 various other artists will also be on hand with their works. Wine and Hors d’oeuvres will be provided. Open till 11pm. No charge to attend. Please RSVP to help us plan catering.
