BAYarts annual emerging artists show features 'small good things'

As part of BAYarts' commitment to encourage and support aspiring artists, each February the works of artists whose work shows promise on a professional level is featured in the main gallery.

This year's emerging artists are BAYarts pottery student and painting teacher Erin Schectman and potter Sue Kirchgessner. The two have collaborated on the planning, presentation, theme and execution of the show with gallery director Eileen Stockdale.

The show, entitled "Small Good Things" includes Erin's "small" oil and mixed media paintings and Sue's ceramic tableware and garden art. A blog devoted to the journey of creating the show is at http://potteryandpaint.blogspot.com/.

The show will open with a reception on Feb. 10, from 7-9 p.m. and be on view until March 3 in the Sullivan Family Gallery in the Fuller House. Hours are Monday-Saturday 8 a.m.-3 p.m. or by appointment. Visit www.bayarts.net for details.
