Clearwater Main Library Spring Art Exhibits
CLEARWATER - Spring art exhibits will be on display until May 28, throughout the Clearwater Main Library's galleries, at 100 N. Osceola Ave.:
- Creative Vision, Seeing Beyond The Image by artist William Emrich will be exhibited in the Carnegie Gallery. Emrich's works in abstract photography, resulted from his discovery that the colors and shapes of painted wildlife scenes on an outdoor mural were more magical than the actual images.
- Images of Japan by artist Jim Sikes will be in the Osceola Gallery. Sikes said, "My deep admiration and affection for Asian cultures emerged visually during a 30-year stay in the region. Much of my figurative work derives from a strong attraction to traditional scenes and architecture, including remnants of Japan's cultural past. I search for new and imaginative ways to portray the images of Asia that I find compelling and strive to capture the quintessential qualities of my subject matter."
- Asian Works of Art from Nagano, Japan and Clearwater Sister Cities members will be on display in the 1st Floor Lobby Display Cases.
The galleries are open Monday through Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday,9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. For more information, call (727) 562-4970, ext. 5284.
