We’re celebrating Bivins’ solo exhibit of abstract paintings with this interactive reception!
On Wednesday, June 17, from 7 to 8 p.m., 20 North Gallery will host Around the Corner exhibiting artist Aaron S. Bivins, as he presents a watercolor painting demonstration for gallery visitors. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., so that patrons may view the exhibit and speak with the artist prior to the demonstration.
Bivins, a noted art educator and past-president of the Northwestern Ohio Watercolor Society, will be creating a floral still life and speaking about his motivations for the various series of paintings—in watercolor, oil and acrylic—he has created throughout his artistic career. A question-and-answer session with the audience will conclude the evening.
To maintain social distancing, only 24 attendees will be permitted to enter the gallery. The demonstration and question time will also be live-streamed on Facebook: @WatercolorWithAaronS.Bivins
The demonstration is free and open to the public, although due to space limitations, reservations are encouraged. To reserve a seat, contact 20 North Gallery at 419-241-2400 or info@20northgallery.com
This event is in compliance with all Responsible RestartOhio protocols for retail establishments, restaurants and art galleries: the facility cleaned and sanitized, seating arranged to maintain social distancing, hand sanitizer available in multiple locations, and all gallery staff and visitors are required to wear masks.
Once the demonstration begins, Venue bar will also be open, for seated service, so that patrons can enjoy a refreshing libation during the presentation—and toast Aaron Bivins’ success in his first solo exhibit of abstract paintings.
Well-known for his lush, impressionistic landscape paintings and jazz-themed watercolor portraits, Bivins debuted in April a bold new series of work for 20 North Gallery’s current exhibition, Around the Corner: Aaron Bivins Abstract. The exhibit remains on view through June 27, 2020.
20 North Gallery is currently open by “call-ahead” appointment, Wednesday – Saturday, noon – 4 p.m. Or the public may view the artwork remotely through the online video of the exhibit installation or viewing the 20 North Gallery Around the Corner online catalogue & price list. Visitors may also set a private appointment to tour the exhibition via Facetime or Zoom.
