Opening Today at the Thomas Stevens Gallery - one of our fav group exhibitions - Nuda Veritas (Naked Truth), 5th Annual Group Exhibit Celebrating the Art N**e.
Featuring 11 remarkable artists, plus a few selections from my personal art collection.
What else could be so expressive, so symbolic, so universal yet so personal, so provocative, so rich with artistic potential, as is the bare human body. A pillar of western art for 2000 years, the art n**e has evolved from being a subject of art to an art genre in its own right.
For collectors and art appreciators, here's an opportunity to see and acquire works from master North Carolina artists.

Our opening reception coincides with the Hillsborough Last Fridays Art Walk, 6-9 pm April 24th - with tons of art, music, and fun. Here at the gallery enjoy jazz selections from the Great American Songbook by the King Street Jazz Quartet.
