December 5 – January 7
A second installation of the annual holiday exhibition at Chroma Fine Art Gallery is underway from December 5, 2023 – January 7, 2024! The festive exhibition, Sigillaria II, serves to commemorate past, present, and future. Sigillaria refers to small clay or wax figurines which were given as traditional gifts by the ancient Romans during the month of December. “This exhibition recognizes and celebrates our creative community,” reflects Rita Baunok, owner of Chroma and a photographer in her own right. “As 2023 comes to a close we can be proud of a wonderful year, and we look forward to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead in 2024!”
In the spirit of the season, many artful small and big treasures can be found, which makes Chroma the perfect place to find unique gifts (while supporting the local art scene)! You can find paintings, mixed media works, hand-pulled prints, photographs, sculptures, and glass art. “There is a wide range of work, as you can imagine,” Baunok explains of the featured artists. “But they are united by the abundance of talent and creativity in this region, and that is something we celebrate all year round.” You are invited to meet and mingle with the art crowd at Chroma for a festive reception (and some inspired gift-giving ideas) on December 9 from 3-7pm.
The 30 artists on view include: Robin Arzt, Jen Badalamenti, Vincent Baldassano, Rita Baunok, Carol Bouyoucos, Moshe Bursuker, Kathleen Carlson, Bruce Dunbar, Bracken Feldman, Edward Giobbi, Marilyn D. Glass, Oscar Hammerstein, Inness Hancock, Joshua|2, Alissa Leigh, Jacqueline Lorieo, Rita Maas, Terrence Mahon, Jean Morley, Vanessa Pineda Fox, John Plunkett, Ruth Raskin, Andrea Rowan, Angela Rustici, Kelly Schwark, Robert Spinazzola, Sergey Stepanenko, Michael Summers, Mitchell Visoky, and Rachel White.
