Exhibition Showing: June 3rd-July 27th

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 5th, 5:00pm to 7:00pm

The Ankeny Art Center gallery and receptions are free and open to the public. Wine and appetizers will be served.

Main Gallery: Pamela S. Douglas specializes in painting and drawing. Like many professional artists her work has evolved from a traditional approach to a more intense exploration of elements of a medium. In this exhibit Pamela shares a remarkable series of 24 paintings named 'Investigating Color'. Her works are built from a method of layering color to build variations of depth and patterning to produce both tension and harmony. Pamela is currently living the Clive community. 

Side Gallery: The artists of Omaha Clay works will be displaying as a group at the Ankeny Art Center. The Omaha Clay works is a fully equipped facility which offers a unique opportunity for those interested in clay art. The facility provides classes, studio space for working clay artists and a small sales gallery. Artist Tom Harnack, owner and founder of Omaha Clay works, will be displaying his work and will also be speaking after the opening reception.

Come and see the great artwork, have a glass of wine and some hors d'oevres!  It's a great way to start an evening before going out to dinner (or a great excuse to go out to dinner afterwards).

The Ankeny Art Center is located in a city park at SW Third and State Front Road. Gallery hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 9 am to 1 pm, Thursday 4 pm to 7 pm, Friday 9am to 1pm and Saturday 9 am to noon. The Center is closed Sunday and Monday.
