The New Year is starting off with a definite global flavor at the
Progress Art Gallery in downtown New Port Richey, Florida. During the months of
February and March the Worldwide Women Artists Organization members
will be exhibiting artwork from local members as well as from members
all across the globe in the show, A Woman's Work is Never Done. The
exhibit opened Friday, February 2. This dynamic group, led by artists Laura Milnor Iverson and Teresa Turner who created the group in May 2004, has a long history of using art to help nonprofit organizations and charities. Laura Milnor Iverson has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2002.
Ms. Iverson has
been a leader in the online art community, setting a fine example for
other artists and encouraging artists to take on the role of
philanthropist. She has been featured on MissionFish.com
(http://www.missionfish.org/toolsforall/Iversoncasestudy.pdf) for her
efforts.
The February exhibit is dedicated to the strength, passion and
compassion of women and their impact on the world around us today. The
art collection will be as diverse as the women who create it; with
influences from all around the world including the Netherlands, Canada
& Greece.
The Gallery will be donating a percentage of all sales from this
exhibit to raising funds for the following exhibit A Czech Dialogue:
Images from the 7,65foto Club located in the Czech Republic town of
Liberec. This exhibit will take place April through May 2007 and
several of the artists will be in attendance to personally share in
this exchange of cultures.
The artists from WWAO will also be hosting an online art sale during
the month of March in which they will also be donating part of the
proceeds to the Czech exhibit. The online sale will begin March 1 and
go through March 15. Sale items may be found at the Gallery's website,
www.nprgallery.com.
