Next at Gallery (401)

The next exhibit at Gallery (401) features artist Naomi Geller Lipsky and Gold, Paper, Scissors.

Naomi uses quilling (the art of coiling and shaping narrow paper strips to create a design), gilding (the application of gold leaf), painting and other techniques to create her artistic designs. She is inspired by her love for Jewish heritage and finds joy in commissions that express what others cannot put into words.

The public is invited to an opening reception on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. Wine and light snacks will be served. The exhibit runs through Dec. 5. Free programs such as these are made possible by the generosity of donors to the Jewish Alliance who deeply believe that there should be community places, spaces and experiences that are accessible to everyone.

Want more? Join Naomi for a special Quilling 101 workshop on Nov. 6 from 6-9 p.m. Discover the art of quilling, learn how to shape paper stripes into a vast variety of designs and take home your own piece of art! Cost is $25 or $18 for members, including all supplies. Pre-registration is required.

The gallery is at the Dwares JCC, 401 Elmgrove Ave., Providence. For information or to register, contact Erin Moseley, director of Arts & Culture at 401-421-4111, ext. 108 or emoseley@jewishallianceri.org.
