The Grand Junction City Hall at Second and Rood has a new exhibit which has possibly the widest array of diverse and interesting art media ever displayed throughout the building.
The show ranges from luminous acrylic landscape paintings by Nancee Jean McClure to crocheted soft sculptures, masks, and mixed media fabric and paper maché artwork by Patrick Metoyer to jewelry and watercolors
A new organization, the Art Jewelers Guild of the Grand Junction Area, is displaying three cases of beautiful jewelry, from intricate beadwork to diachronic glass to silver and gemstone pieces. And on the second floor Community Art Wall, the Western Colorado Watercolor Society has hung 20 excellent works in water media. The new art is on display until Sept. 30, and the City Hall is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
