Design Studio Art Gallery Presents "Colors of Summer: An Exploration of Warm Shades, Hues, and Tones" July 15th - August 8th, 2010

Outside the Diamond | ART OPENINGS |




Design Studio Art Gallery presents "Colors of Summer: An Exploration of Warm Shades, Hues,and Tones" focusing on color identity defined by a warm palette.  "Colors of Summer: An Exploration of Warm Shades, Hues and Tones" will be on exhibit at Design Studio Art Gallery from July 15th - August 8th, 2010. 

The exhibit looks into how warm colors define and illustrate mood, ambiance and environment. The curators have sought to examine how these colors, reminiscent of the summer, combine to create art that denotes familiarity in terms of place and environment. 

As we collectively experience this warm season, the exhibit seeks to provide responses to how the summer's energy can be interpreted through the warm palette used by the works on display.

Design Studio Art Gallery is owned and operated by two Interior Designers, Erica Riggio and Nancy Evans. Both designers are committed to advancing the arts. Ms. Evans is a Professor at The George Washington University and has dedicated her life’s work to education and design. Erica Riggio is a graduate of The George Washington University and has an MFA in Interior Design. Ms.Riggio and Ms. Evans both own their own design firms as well. 

The gallery is located in Hyattsville’s new Arts District at 5702 Baltimore Avenue, Hyattsville, MD, 20781. Contact the gallery at (301) 779-4907 or (202) 446-7373 and by email at info@designstudioartgallery.com  Regular hours are Wed - Fri 11am - 7pm, Sat 10am -5pm, Sun 1pm - 5pm
