OCEAN CITY, MD (September 27, 2024) – The Art League of Ocean City invites the community to explore the universal theme of connection through its new exhibition, “The Red Thread: The Common Thread of Connection Through Art.” Curated by Deborah Rolig, the show opens with a First Friday reception on October 4th from 5-8 p.m. at the Ocean City Center for the Arts.
This free event will feature refreshments, hors d’oeuvres, and a captivating performance by the Saltare in Elementis Dance Collective. Attendees are encouraged to embrace the theme by wearing red or a red rose.
“The Red Thread symbolizes the interconnectedness of humanity across cultures,” says Rolig. “This exhibition showcases artists’ unique interpretations of this concept, inviting viewers to reflect on their own connections to others and the world around them.”
The Thaler Gallery will feature works by Rolig, Dee Gray, Seth Apter, and other renowned artists. The Sisson Galleria will host a diverse, all-media group show, with cash prizes awarded to selected winners. Additionally, the Spotlight Gallery will display student artwork, Studio E will present a Community Weaving Project, and Rolig will showcase her jewelry in the Artisan Showcase.
Throughout October, special events related to the “Red Thread” theme will be offered, including a free Yoga and Sound Healing Workshop and a discussion on “The Power of Connection.” A creative writing retreat led by Nancy Mitchell is also scheduled.
The exhibition runs through October 26th at the Arts Center, with satellite galleries showcasing works by Lisa Guerriero and Theresa Alo through December.
