Sitting Pretty: RAL Collections Showcase

The Rehoboth Art League opens five new art exhibitions this May as the summer season nears. From May 10, RAL will display two shows featuring works from their permanent Fine Art Collection — “Sitting Pretty,” which is curated by Le Rowell and Denise Clemons, and “Self-Taught” — two oil painting exhibitions — “Sea Change: Works by Stephen Estrada” and “The Everyday: Oil Paintings by Michael McSorley” — and one art quilt show — “From River to Ocean: Textile Art by Anne Bellas.”

On the evening of May 10th from 5-7 pm, the art league will be hosting an opening reception for these new exhibits, inviting anyone interested to visit the Corkran, Tubbs, Ventures, and Homestead galleries to see the displayed work.

From May 10 to July 14, the league will have two unique curated shows on display to highlight pieces from RAL’s permanent fine art collection. “Sitting Pretty,” a showcase curated by RAL Exhibition Committee members Le Rowell and Denise Clemons, will be on display in the DeWitt Gallery. The most prominent feature of a portrait is the person who sits for the artist creating the work. The same can be said for an object that serves to inspire a piece of sculpture. In this show, viewers will find a unique ensemble of works from the Rehoboth Art League’s Collection that illustrate the notion of “sitting pretty,” whether whimsical or serious, abstract or representational.
