  “Nocturne”, offers a variety of thoughts in the minds for our artists to expand on. When asked to be part of a celestial exhibit, the artists response was, “what do you mean?” Celestial: of relating to the sky – perhaps even to, infinity and beyond; how we, and the planet earth relate to that expanse.

  Twenty-one artists artistic engagements of knowledge and imagination paintings … clusters of celestial bodies in the ever expanding universe – devoid of religion and politics – relating to the sky and beyond – space - sun, moon, stars, black holes, milky way, clouds, above and below horizons – surrounded by that space, looking up to the “now”, and possible future explorations.

Runs through February 31

  Chadds Ford Gallery is uniquely situated in the middle of the battlefield for the only major engagement of the American Revolution that took place in Pennsylvania. The Battle of the Brandywine, September 11, 1777, was an historic event (although the British were victorious in this battle) fought here in Chadds Ford and its surrounding area. This was the inspiration for our exhibit in June 2011, "Stars n' Stripes - Impressions of Patriots and Patriotism".
