Head downtown Saturday for the opening of the AS220 December Galleries featuring the work of Gunnar Nordquist, including this exquisite rendering of the Olive Tree of Vouves, graphite on cotton rag. He enthusiastically shares how busy he has been preparing for this show on his FB page, where you can see him working on this very piece.
You have through December 21st to check them all out, but don’t miss the seasonal events and installations downtown while you are there.
