Robert Ross Retrospective A-Z - Opening Reception

You’re invited to join
Art Ventures on Thursday, May 5 between 5 pm and 8:30 pm for our May First
Thursday Reception, and the opening public reception Robert Ross Retrospective A-Z. This event will be held at our
gallery on 20 S. Hill Ave, Fayetteville AR, 72701.

Robert Ross Retrospective A to Z celebrates the artistic work and the life of the legendary artist
Robert Ross. Ross has been known for using water, pigment, and pastel for his
large and small paintings and drawings, utilizing traditional and nontraditional
surfaces to record the experience of direct observation of human form and
landscape. This retrospective is a collection of his works that features some
of the most important works from his remarkable early years as an artist to the
present day. Significant beauty and depth are often missed by the casual viewer
in works of art, such as sources and edges of light, implied lines, and
textures. Therefore, this exhibition invites the audience to spend time with
each of his works, paying attention to every little detail, especially those
that are not immediately apparent. These small details, easily missed, interest
Robert Ross the most.

This First Thursday
event is free and open to the public! Beverages and refreshments will be
provided by Art Ventures, with a generous donation from Core Brewing.

Parking is available onsite
in front of the gallery in the yard. Free shuttle pickup begins at 4:45 p.m. on
Center St. between the Fayetteville Downtown Square and the Fire Station.
