Lewes Artists Studio Tour exhibit to open at Peninsula Gallery Feb. 1

Members from the Lewes Artists Studio Tour will take over the Peninsula Gallery exhibition space Saturday, Feb. 1, with a reception set from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Some of the exhibiting artists will be in attendance, allowing guests the opportunity to learn about the pieces directly from their creators. 

The show will feature 48 works from 15 First Town artists.

From traditional acrylic and watercolor paintings to abstract fiber pieces and functional pottery, the works juried into this exhibition come in a variety of mediums, styles and sizes. Some of the pieces embrace traditional scenes such as landscapes, floral portraits and animals in the wild, while others take a more modernist or abstract approach. The show also includes some tabletop sculptural pieces.

The display will feature artwork from Kathy Brady, Jean Doran, Fred Dylla, Joan Fabbri, Marilyn Feldman, Ruth Ann Kaufman, Nina Mickelsen, Sarah Pavlik, Steve Rogers, Bob and Lois Schlowsky, Nick Serratore, Jennifer Wagner, Jeff Watson, Bonnie White and Caryl Williams.

The Lewes Artists Studio Tour is an annual art event that takes place the third weekend in September. It presents participants with a unique opportunity to enter the working environments of regionally and nationally acclaimed local artists. The studio locations cover an area in both the historic Lewes town center and the newer residential areas a few minutes from downtown.

Works from the show can be previewed at peninsula-gallery.com. The show will continue through Sunday, Feb. 23.

The gallery is located in the Village Shoppes at the Beacon Inn, 520 East Savannah Road, Lewes.
