Center for the Arts Gallery 

February 13 - March 15 

Opening Reception February 15,  7-9pm

Northfield Arts Guild will open its mixed media exhibit of four regional artists, Marion Angelica, Maryrose Gondeck, Marcia Haffmans, and Jonathan McFadden.  Northfield artist Maryrose Gondeck says of her drawings, "They depict the complexity of humanness where nothing is black or white and nothing is really easily known."  Painter Marcia Haffmans, who grew up in the flat landscape of the Netherlands describes her work, "Lines not only define separations, but also serve as connections...whether premeditated or spontaneous." This exhibit is our opportunity to connect with artists, to see how they interpret our changing world and, in Jonathan McFadden's words "expose new forms of interactions."
