Creative Loafing just received word of Ciel Gallery's upcoming Contemporary Mosaic Art 2009 exhibition, set to open on Sept. 4 and continue through Oct. 23. An opening reception is scheduled Sept. 4, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m., and will be followed by a special event on Sept. 5, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m., which will give folks the chance to meet artists of the exhibition and see mosaic demonstrations. The exhibition is juried by mosaic master Giulio Menossi of Udine, Italy, and it features mosaic works by artists from 18 states in the US, as well as others from countries like Italy, Serbia, Monaco, Wales, Canada, and Ireland.
Oh, and in case you want to learn how to create a mosaic of your own, Ciel Gallery will also be offering A Master Mosaic Workshop. The workshop will be held Oct. 10-12. For more information about the gallery or to register for the workshop, click here.
