Summer Rush
SUMMER RUSH is a dual-gallery, all female group exhibition at James Oliver Gallery & HOT•BED, featuring a variety of local, national, and international female contemporary artists. Summer Rush was curated by and took place at James Oliver Gallery as well as their sister gallery HOT•BED, where custom horticulture by Bryan Hoffman will accentuate the organic feel and intense color pallets of this show. The incredible line-up includes a diverse array of works by artists: Michele Kishita, M.K. Komins, Elizabeth Bergeland, Nat Girsberger, Alicia LaChance, Juliet Sugg, Kristen Reichert, Caitlyn Grabenstein, Molly Goldfarb, Ekaterina Popova, Erica Bello, Katelyn Liepins, and Nikki Painter. The scope of media includes abstract, surreal and hyper-realistic painting, collage, illustration, jewelry, and much, much more. Summer Rush magnified the entropy of the season and eviscerate a notion of excitement and activity brewing and cultivating in our spaces.
