The Milford Arts Council’s upcoming exhibit at the Firehouse Gallery is all about purple.
The exhibit features artists who were invited to create and present their interpretation of the color in two or three dimensions in representational or abstract form, in multimedia, traditional two-dimensional materials or sculpture.
Meg Carriero, marketing specialist for the MAC said, “The color purple is a color that can evoke many emotions and I am looking forward to the public seeing how the artists used purple in their pieces for this exhibit. Purple in all its forms can remind you of spring, with the early crocus flowers, it can remind you of summer with the harvesting of plums, it can remind you of fall with the darker shades of the fall wardrobe, and using pops of purple in all the white of winter looks magical.”
The purple exhibit is free and open to the public for viewing during normal gallery hours, on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. The exhibit will run from May 14 to May 22. The MAC will have a public opening reception on Thursday, May 12 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The gallery is located at 81 Naugatuck Ave. in Milford.
In between exhibits, the Firehouse Gallery is available to artists for rent as a private or small group exhibit or pop-up shop. Details are provided on the MAC website under “Rent This Space.”
