Get in the summer spirit with us this Friday, June 5 from 5-7 PM for the opening reception of John McVicker's Chromomancy: Color Divinations in Gallery 1879. After losing over a year's worth of digital work, McVicker turned to painting to reignite his creative spark, and the result is this collection of vibrant abstract pieces.

In addition to exploring Chromomancy at Stuart's, be sure to check out the rest of the Athens County Art Hop that evening, including exhibitions at Majestic Galleries and tend space.

The reception is free and open to the public, with light refreshments provided and drinks available for purchase at the bar.
