Springing Forward~Special Events
Apr 12th, 2012 by andreaharris
This has been a thrilling spring– and it’s only April!
The Art of Human Rights, held on March 9th and 10th was a fantastic event. Many impressive works of art were sold, and I am pleased to announce that my painting, Young Birch Forest, sold to a collector in the Chicagoland area. The event showcased a variety of established Fine Artists, hand selected by Chuck Gniech, curator of Gallery 180 of the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago.
Funds raised through The Art of Human Rights will support the work that Heartland Alliance does to ensure that everyone has a roof over their head, access to health care, the opportunity to earn income to support themselves and their families, and to be treated fairly and with justice.
For my friends and collectors who live or travel to New York City, my artwork will be featured in a group exhibition at Amsterdam Whitney International Gallery, 511 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York City. The Gala Opening Champagne Reception is Thursday, May 10th from 6-8 PM. This is an invitation only event, so please email me if you plan on attending (andrea@andreaharris.com), and I will add your name to the list. Below are samples of my paintings from The Four Seasons Series that will be on view:
