Galleries galore

Today I visited Campus d'Art, a whole region full of galleries. Owned and curated by Cecilia Delacroix, this area is a treasure trove for anyone interested in art. Some of the galleries are for educational purposes. Others showcase and sell contemporary art by rl and SL artists. Cecilia told me she has worked on this art region for six years, and it shows, as it took me hours just to get a surface level picture of what can be found there. I need to go back often to take a deeper look in each of the exhibits. And there is new art coming soon!

Delacroix Gallery of Photography showcases photography by Cecilia Delacroix. The exhibit sets are Western U.S. scenics, "Reflections of Las Vegas" and "The Vineyards of Santa Rita Hills". Going from detailed to abstract, the photographs show the athmosphere and moods of each place and moment. I found a gorgeous picture of the Redwoods in California. Having visited there myself, I loved how the image captured the spirit of the forest. Luckily artwork is on sale in the gallery.

Nextdoor is "Meadow Flowers of Summer", an exhibit of photograps by Cecilia Delacroix and Bloodrose Valencia.

I really liked an image called Midsummer Morning Flowers #1, hummingbird!

Delacroix Pavilion nearby houses exhibits by guests artists. The current exhibit is "Garden and Glass" with 42 pictures of blown glass art by Seattle based artist Dale Chihuly.

More glass art at the Contemporary Glass Art exhibit in the Bella Vida gallery a short walk away, take the escalator down.

There is plenty more to see around the campus. I recommend you take your time looking around. List of the galleries with pictures after the jump.
