The Charm of the Spectacle: Celan Bouillet, Darcy Rosenberger and Jessica Dupuis

Nicole Longnecker Gallery presents a group exhibition: The Charm of the Spectacle featuring artists Celan Bouillet, Darcy Rosenberger and Jessica Dupuis. The show runs from August 8 to September 5, 2015 and opens with an Artists’ Reception Saturday, August 8 from 5-8 pm.

One of Nicole Longnecker Gallery’s commitments is to introduce young collectors, artists and curators as part of our “Giving Back Through Art” program.

This August the gallery opens their doors for the inaugural exhibit from an exciting young guest curator Scarlett Taylor:  a group exhibition “The Charm of the Spectacle”  showing works by artists: Celan Bouillet, Darcy Rosenberger and Jessica Dupuis.

In this exhibit, the artists open a window through their work that encourages the viewer to explore an inner spiritual world.
