Join us on Wednesday, April 3rd from 5:30 – 7pm for a reception honoring our Spring featured artist, Roy Laws! Roy grew up in Nashville, Music City USA, in a household where he was always surrounded with music and was taught to appreciate all genres. His pieces are bold in color, scale and subject matter, inspired by the musical influences of his childhood: vintage guitars, rock ’n’ roll icons and outlaw country legends. As an artist, Roy takes the experiences and emotions that have shaped his life and translates them into art that makes you stop, look and just feel the power of the paint.
Roy’s collection will be on display at the WCPAC now through May.
Wednesday, April 3rd at 5:30 – 7:00pm
This reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
