Now showing at the Berkeley Art Works is “The Art of the Portrait”, an exhibit of portraits by local and regional artists. Also on display in the “Back Space” gallery is “Square Seasons” a exhibit of 20 square-format photographs by Gary Bergel reflecting, documenting, and exploring squared-off seasons, days, and moments natural, cultural, pyschological, and spriritual.
The gallery, which is located at 116 North Queen Street in Martinsburg, WV, is open Wed-Thu 11-5, Fri 11-8 and and Sat 11-4.
There will be a reception on Friday, July 22, from 5-7pm to view the artwork and meet some of the artists. Light refreshments will be available and the reception is free and open to the public.
The Berkeley Art Works, a project of the Berkeley Arts Council, is the realization of the long-held dream of the arts community in Martinsburg and Berkeley County West Virginia: to have a community-based arts facility that supports local and regional artists, brings quality arts experiences for the members of the public, and provides a wide range of arts learning experiences for local residents, artists, and artisans.
