Normandy Park Senior Living & Memory Village Expands Community Art Gallery to Add Artists-In-Residence Collection
Tue, 07/21/2015
Gala event to take place at end of July in Normandy Park Art Gallery
Normandy Park Art Gallery celebrated its grand opening last month with over 60 attendees featuring art from five local artists, and will expand this month adding work from three Artists-In-Residence. A public event to unveil these pieces will take place on Thursday, July 30th from 4:40 pm to 7:30 pm, with live music from a local string ensemble, champagne and hors d’oeuvres. Artists will be in attendance to meet and discuss their work.
Art can be purchased at the gallery and the Artists have agreed to a percentage of sales going to benefit local charities and organizations. Four paintings sold at the grand opening event and proceeds during July and August are being donated to Hospitality House, a women’s shelter in Burien. “We are thrilled to be able to offer the surrounding community a destination for viewing great works of art by local artists and provide a venue for local musicians and entertainers to showcase their talent.” says Dan Scansen, Executive Director of the assisted living and memory care community. “We hope that over time local residents will come to regard the gallery and monthly entertainment as an integral part of the cultural scene in Normandy Park, Des Moines and Burien.”
Working in partnership with Artists United, exhibits at Normandy Park Art Gallery will hang for two months when new art will replace it, so that there will be a constant flow of new works. Each month Normandy Park Senior Living will host an event in the gallery featuring local musicians, writers, comedians, dance and dramatic presentations. The gallery is open to the public during regular business hours daily.
