Final Day to Experience the Art of Jon Fasanelli-Cawelti

Today is the last day to view the remarkable exhibition of Jon Fasanelli-Cawelti (1953-2021) at Abbe Creek Gallery.

Join us from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a special opportunity to meet Diane Calzaretta, Jon's spouse and representative. Diane will be at the gallery throughout the day, sharing insights into Jon's life, artistic vision, and the intaglio printmaking techniques that made his work so distinctive.

Whether you're revisiting a favorite piece or seeing the exhibition for the first time, this is your final chance to explore the depth, craftsmanship, and enduring legacy of one of America's accomplished printmakers.

We invite you to spend part of your day with us and celebrate the art and legacy of Jon Fasanelli-Cawelti before the exhibition closes.
