FLIGHTS OF FANCY

The Beard Pond Art Group announced that they will be holding their second collaborative art exhibit entitled “Flights of Fancy” from September 6 through October 11, 2008 at the Galletly Gallery at The New Hampton School in New Hampton, NH.

The Beard Pond Art Group formed in 2000 by four women artists to support and inspire each other in their artistic endeavors.

Members include fiber artist Cheryl Christner of New Boston, print-maker Gail Hersey of Weare, wildlife artist Rosemary Conroy of Weare, and painter Karen Salerno of New Boston. This show, their second exhibit as a group, will include both two- and three-dimensional creations incorporating traditional and non-traditional techniques, all centered around the theme of air.

An opening reception will be held on Friday, September 26 from 5 to 8 pm at the Galletly Gallery at the New Hampton School in New Hampton, NH. For directions and more information, please call 603-677-3513 or visit www.newhampton.org. Regular viewing hours are Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm.

The group decided to pursue an elemental theme with what they hope will be a series of four art exhibits. Two years ago, they exhibited “Ponderings,” which featured art of an aquatic nature. The artists, who are all nature-lovers, decided to tackle air as their next theme. This show, called “Flights of Fancy,” will feature artwork focusing on birds, butterflies, weather, and other aerial endeavors.

For more information about the show or the artists, please contact Rosemary Conroy or 603-315-9060. For directions to the Galletly Gallery at the New Hampton School, please visit their website or call 603-677-3513.
