Art reception tonight at Mary Pat Gallery

EAST LIVERPOOL -- For those of you who appreciate the fine arts, there is an exhibit opening tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Kent State University's Mary Patterson Gallery featuring the work of Salem artist Loretta Tipton. As always the Ohio Valley Regional Arts Council will provide free food and drink, so come hungry.

Loretta's work is very high-quality and accessible. She is also a professional framer, which means that her stuff is handsomely framed with archival-quality materials and is ready to hang. As well, her pricing is extremely reasonable, which isn't always the case with our artists. Even the larger pieces are priced under $250, and many are in the $100 range. You're just not going to find original art of this quality any cheaper.

Hope to see you there! If you can't make it this evening, regular gallery hours are 6-8 p.m. Thursday and 1-3 p.m. on Fridays (and by appointment). The Tipton exhibit runs through next week only. The gallery is located on the second floor of the Mary Patterson building on the campus of the Kent State East Liverpool campus.
