Exhibition: One Thing, and Then Another - Longmont, CO - AARP

On Saturday, May 29, at 12:00 p.m., the Firehouse Art Center at 667 Fourth Avenue, Longmont, CO 80501 will have an exhibition. In “One Thing and Then Another” the Firehouse presents four painters addressing the gray spaces between ideas and reality. While looking at the world around us, we see one thing, and then another. All four artists draw from childhood and memory, combining the real and the absurd – achieving through painting a cumulative expression of what it’s like to love the world as a child and then reflect as an adult, blending a mature perspective with the cultural aesthetics and naive playfulness of youth. The event is open to walk-in guests with a five person capacity.
