Watershed Annual Summer Exhibitions

Two concurrent group exhibitions will feature past and current Watershed resident artists. The sculpture exhibit, Obsessive Allegories will include artist works selected by Watershed's Exhibitions Committee; the Watershed Pottery Invitational will highlight functional ceramics from artists invited to participate in Watershed's Invitational Pottery Sale at Salad Days, curated by Elizabeth Kendall.

Reception: Saturday, July 9; 3:30 - 6:00pm (following Salad Days)

Obsessive Allegories brings together a group of artists who use their art to embellish reality rather than merely depict it.
