ENCAUSTICS 13

Join Jack Art Gallery for an exciting event featuring more than 75 pieces of original encaustic art on August 12, 2009.

What is encaustic art you ask? Encaustic art is made by melting wax and using it as a pigment medium. The rich, vibrant, textural result can be easily manipulated with an assortment of tools and be blended with a variety of other media. While many might associate encaustic art with melting crayons as a child, the art form is actually thousands of years old.

Jack Art Gallery has the pleasure of featuring a dozen new works by teacher, author and Atlanta artist, Jason McGrady along with original works by 12 other local and national encaustic artists, including Jhina Alvarado, Lynn Bland, Barbara Brenner, Rae Broyles, Glenda Chamblerlain, Melissa Hronkin, Judie Jacobs, Allison Miller, Edie Morton, Margo Mullen, Penny Treese, and Melody Trivisone.

The show runs from August 08 to September 04, 2009, and the big event... the artists opening reception, will be on August 12, 2009 from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Come by the gallery that night to meet the artists, sip some wine and emerse yourself in encaustic art. Each of the pieces retail for under $500.

In addition to all the excitement around the art that night, August 12, Jack Art Gallery and owners Lisa and John McNamara have the pleasure of hosting a "meet & greet" for State Senator Kasim Reed, Candidate for Atlanta Mayor.
