The City Hall at 5th Street and Rood Avenue hosts a new exhibit of art by Grand Junction artists which will go on display January 6. The Commission on Arts and Culture will host an opening reception for the exhibit on Friday evening, January 8 from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in conjunction with January’s First Friday celebration (being done on the second Friday). The public is invited to attend. Local photographer Dr. Scott Lybrook, painter Janet Mayerik, and sculptor Thad Tuin will be showing their excellent artwork in the main lobby and first floor hallways. Near the auditorium and on the second floor Community Art Wall, Rod A. Martinez, Beverly Kingsley and Jack Kingsley, all members of the Southwest Photographic Arts Association, will display photographs. Artful landscapes of regional scenery and topography are the subject of Lybrook’s photographs and Mayerik’s oil paintings. Tuin’s sculpture ranges from large free-standing pieces to smaller work and is created out of wood, stone, and steel. The unique photographs of long-time photography instructor Rod Martinez and the Kingsleys range from scenery to wildlife to people from many different perspectives. The new artwork will be on display through the end of the March, and many of the pieces are for sale by contacting the individual artists. The Commission organizes the quarterly rotating exhibits of original work by local artists to showcase the interesting and exceptional artwork being created by Grand Valley residents. The City Hall is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. For more information contact the Arts Commission at 254-3865 or allisons@gjcity.org.
