POAC presents The Language of Color

By Reader Staff

In an effort to offer a reprieve from the oncoming gray of late fall, the Pend Oreille Arts Council has curated a bright new exhibit for its gallery: The Language of Color. The showcase will open Friday, Nov. 6 with a reception from 5-7 p.m. featuring colorful pieces from 13 local artists at the POAC Gallery (313 N. Second Ave., in Sandpoint).

“Artists choose colors that communicate their ideas with the viewer, and each one takes a different approach. … Minimalist and muted palettes have their place, but there is something joyous about vibrant colors,” stated organizers.

The monthlong display includes pieces by Jeanine Asche, Judy Baird, Alison Barrows-Young, Jenni Barry, Michelle Erny, Al Friesen, Randy Fritz, Daris Judd, Jeff Keenan, Stephen Nelson, Holly Pennington, Teresa Rancourt, Jan Rust and Eli Sevenich. 

The artists are masters of a variety of media, from photography to oil painting, each capturing color and theme in their unique way.

Art lovers can speak with featured artists and take in the collection at Friday’s free opening reception, or visit the gallery during business hours anytime until Monday, Nov. 30. Learn more at artinsandpoint.org.
