Join us for the opening reception of Judith and Richard Wilde: It’s About Time at Blue Door Art Center. This exhibition brings together two distinct creative voices in a shared exploration of image, memory, time, and the ways we construct meaning through art. Playful, layered, and deeply considered, the work invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and make their own connections.
Meet the artists, explore the exhibition, and enjoy light refreshments in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. No cost, All are welcome. More info about this exhibition here.
