LIBERTY – They’re back!  Some of the region’s finest and most interesting artists will be on display at the Second Annual Invitational Art Show at the Liberty Museum & Arts Center. The exhibit opens with an artist’s reception, Friday, May 2, from 6-9pm and runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Sunday, June 29. 

Marjorie Morrow will be featuring her most recent series, Haybales, “a joyful response to the fields surrounding my home.” Her paintings are “about energy and freedom, gestural interpretations of what I see–feel.” Kathe Frantz’s evocative “10 Minutes on 52” was “inspired by a ten-minute drive along Route 52, in the gloaming”.  Kathe suggests “that the viewer take the time to relax into a state that allows the mind to freely move and enjoy a feeling of being and creating your own time.” Charles Farless was described in a feature in the New York Times as a “figural painter who remains close to nature in his own surrealistic fashion;” Farless portrays “ the fleshy leaves, stems and tendrils of tropical plants” in a way that suggests that “he is privy to extraterrestrial plant life as well as that in his own environment.” 

Lisa Lebofsky has traveled to the edges of the world to create her dramatic, large-scale arctic and sea-scapes; painted on aluminum, they are eagerly sought by collectors and will be represented by several of her most striking pieces.  Musician/Painter Frank DiModica,  whose music-inspired canvases elicited much praise and commentary in a solo-show at the Museum last year, is back with a variety of his intricate and eclectic work.

The Museum is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, from 12-4pm, and admission is free. The Museum is located at 46 South Main Street in Liberty, across from the newly-renovated Liberty Theater.
